Currently, the majority of Russian companies does not have sufficient amount of own funds for the purchase of modern production equipment. In this regard, there is a need to raise additional funds, the most common method which is to obtain bank loans. One of the alternative forms of financing the organization is leasing. In those cases where the lease as an investment method provides innovation, it takes on a new economic sense becomes an innovation. In this sense the economic category of leasing has not lost its relevance today as in the practical application, and its theoretical understanding. Russian economic theory and practice of management today pays insufficient attention to the study of these processes, the creation of adequate conditions for their implementation and regular development.Keywords: leasing, leasing administration, management, competitivenessJEL Classifications: G11, G31, L26
