Loans mean that the company itself owns the item. Therefore, the item must be capitalised in the balance sheet, and it depreciates over time.
Under a lease agreement, the object is leased for a predetermined period of time. This provides simpler and more predicable accounting treatment.

How to do it
DNB makes an individual credit assessment and pricing of all business loans.
Submit an application and be contacted by a financial adviser
Initially, we don’t recommend taking out a business loan for amounts less than NOK 50,000.
The reason for this is that the set-up costs will make up such a large proportion of the total amount that the effective interest rate will be unreasonably high. The standard set-up cost is NOK 5 000.
We therefore recommend that you look at alternative solutions such as depositing private funds or a corporate card with a credit limit.
Leasing and sales mortgages
Terminating the agreement
You can request to buy the item outright during the period.
Get in contact with us by phone on +47 915 06 202 or email ksb@dnb.no
Log in to the DNB Portal to see the agreement details.
Transferring the agreement to a third party
You can transfer the agreement to a third party, but a new tenant must be authorised by DNB.
Send an email to ksbkreditt@dnb.no with details of the new tenant and we’ll get in touch.
The agreement is coming to an end. What happens next?
At the end of the term of the lease, you can choose to:
- continue the term of the lease;
- ask to buy the item;
- return the item.
If there is an agreed residual value at the end of the term of the lease, the item must be returned to the party that has guaranteed the residual value. This is usually the supplier/dealer or DNB. Residual value is most common with vehicle financing.
Check the remaining period
Log in to the DNB Portal to find this information.
Get a copy of the agreement documents
The company’s managing director can retrieve agreement documents in the DNB Portal.
This applies to all agreements that have been eSigned after 28/9/2020.
Get an offer for buying the item outright
If you’d like an outright purchase offer after the end of the lease period, you can get in touch when the invoice for the last instalment in the minimum period has been received.
Not sure how long the agreement runs for? You’ll find this in the DNB Portal.

How to do it
If you’re using your own insurance, we need the details of this in order to remove/delete the insurance in the agreement. Feel free to send us an email with the insurance certificate, policy number (where applicable) and date when the insurance started.
NB! If the insurance covers a vehicle, the insurance company must place a guarantee in TFFauto.
Leasing with a residual value means that someone provides a guarantee for the value of the item after the term of the lease. Residual value means that the lease amount is significantly reduced because the item must be returned to the guarantor at the end of the term of the lease. The advantage of residual value is that the guarantor takes over the risk of fall in value during the term of the lease.
Leasing costs don’t have to be recognised in the accounts as outstanding debt in the same way as a loan. The vast majority of companies don’t need to show the lease agreement on the balance sheet.
Large companies (PLCs) must show the lease obligation and value of the item on the balance sheet. This is usually calculated as a future lease obligation for the remainder of the lease period, discounted to net present value.
If you’ve purchased a lease agreement, but haven’t received a change of ownership notification, you can go in to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s website and send a notification of change of ownership to DNB Finans.
For change of ownership use the phone number 468 40 942 and registration no. 984851006.
Get in contact with us by phone on 915 06 202 or send us an email to find out what the outstanding debt is.
