A finance lease, also known as a capital lease, is a type of lease agreement used for financing assets, such as technology, machinery, furniture and equipment. In a finance lease, the lessor (the one providing the financing) retains ownership of the asset and the lessee (the one using the asset) makes periodic rental payments over the term of the lease.
Under a finance lease, the lessee has the right to use the asset for the duration of the lease but does not have the right to sell or transfer ownership of the asset. At the end of the lease, the lessee may have the option to purchase the asset for a pre-agreed price or return it to the lessor.

What is an Operating Lease?
There are several reasons why an organisation would use finance lease to invest in assets, including:

A finance lease is a type of leasing arrangement in which the lessor (the finance company) purchases the asset and then leases it to the lessee (the organisation) for an agreed-upon period of time. At the end of the lease term, the organisation may have the option to purchase the asset for a pre-determined amount or return it to the finance company. A finance lease differs from other financing options in that it provides organisations with the use of the asset without the responsibility of owning it outright.
