Aquila's core business consists of financial leasing targeting SMEs and consumers (individuals, professionals, traders/craftsmen) in specific sectors for which Aquila developed a particular marketing positioning. In addition, Aquila provides short term working capital financing (less than one year) to SMEs and private professionals.

Aquila Capital started its operations mid-2005 as a non-bank financial institution providing financial leasing solutions and asset management services to SMEs and individuals.

BIOs long term debt financing (USD 5 million) will help Aquila Leasing in reaching a critical size and becoming the new leader in the market, thus improving confidence from local banks and local private investors. This way the company will be able to attain easier access to capital markets and bank financing at more attractive conditions.
