About us

Our company

Hanseatic innovation

Traditional financing models such as leasing, installment plan or bank loans were developed for large investments in machinery, vehicle fleets or real estate - not for the daily need for modern business equipment in dynamic times.

But today, companies need solutions that adapt to their needs - not the other way around.
‍
That's why we have rethought the financing of business equipment.
‍
Since 2018, Flexvelop has been combining Hanseatic merchant tradition with state-of-the-art technology and visionary entrepreneurship. Thanks to the coordinated interplay of optimal contract terms and fully automated processes, Flexen is by far the fastest, most cost-efficient and flexible financing solution for business equipment - simple, transparent and without long-term obligations.

In our own words:

"At Flexvelop, we enable companies to invest in modern equipment without tying up capital - quickly, flexibly and efficiently. Our solutions combine Hanseatic reliability with technological innovation and set new standards for the financing of business equipment - 'made in Hamburg'."

Company headquarters

Flexing under thatch

Flexvelop is located in Hamburg in the listed Halbmondhaus on Elbchaussee. Originally built in 1796 as a stable building, the building was extensively renovated in 2021 and has been restored to its original splendor.

It is something very special for our team to be able to work and welcome guests in this prestigious building.
