From the Paper:

"The following pages will present an analysis on a company located in the United Kingdom, named Lings Cars. The company operates in the car leasing market. The company's clients include both private individuals and businesses as well. The company's operating ways are different than those of dealers', as "Ling relegates the dealer to a middleman position and deals directly with clients arranging the supply and rental of their new cars" (Bized, 2007).
"Experts state that in the United Kingdom the car leasing market is experiencing a rapid growth period. This situation can be attributed to the fact that the number of companies and individuals that use the car leasing method is continuously increasing. It seems that this method presents a series of advantages related to costs for customers (Parry, 2007)."
