Businesses and professionals, optimise your acquisitions through art leasing

Moderne Art Fair has partnered with Bail Art, France’s leading art leasing company since 2009, to offer businesses and self-employed professionals a hire purchase scheme tailored to their needs. Leasing enables businesses to acquire a work of art or a piece of furniture to furnish their workspaces, whilst benefiting from an advantageous financing solution.

By its very nature, a work of art cannot be depreciated for accounting purposes. Conversely, finance leasing offers significant tax savings for the company. Lease payments are deductible from taxable income and reduce corporation tax. At the end of the lease term, exercising the purchase option allows the company to acquire the artwork for a residual value.

The benefits of art leasing

→ A vehicle for promoting your brand and communicating with customers and partners

→ Tax savings: for tax purposes, rent is deductible from taxable income, thereby reducing corporation tax (for businesses) or personal income tax (for the self-employed)

→ Rental costs spread over 13 to 48 months

→ Option to exercise a purchase option at residual value at the end of the contract (LOA)

→ Paintings, sculptures, photographs, furniture, art works, design, drawings and engravings, … all media, from pre-Columbian art to modern and contemporary art

In addition to Article 238 bis AB of the General Tax Code, leasing promotes the inclusion of works of art in professional spaces. It supports artistic creation and encourages companies to promote the values of creativity and openness conveyed by art.
