These include challenges associated with vehicle funding, fleet maintenance, and, more importantly, residual risk handling. Businesses are focused on their core products/services and seek to outsource support activities.

The growing demand for these services and facilities has driven the growth of the leasing market, given it a structure, and regulated the ecosystem.
