Leasing and Installments for Unitree Robots in Kazakhstan — Every Option

In short: legal entities in Kazakhstan have access to 4 financing tools — bank leasing (standard for most), Alashed installments (in-house 12-36 months), rent-with-buyout (for a trial period), credit lines for large projects. The best choice depends on entity structure, VAT status, credit history and deal size. Alashed works with all options and helps pick the optimal one.

This article is for CFOs, finance directors and business owners planning to buy 1-3 robots at a value that needs financing. Helps avoid pulling the full amount out of working capital at once.

Comparing financing tools

Leasing — the standard path

The most common tool for legal entities in Kazakhstan. The robot is bought by a leasing company (or bank), then leased to you with a buyout option. Payments go into expenses — this gives tax optimisation (VAT is deductible). Term — 12-48 months, usually with no-penalty early buyout. Active players: BCC Invest, Halyk Leasing, KazAgroFinance (agro sector), industry leasing companies.

Alashed installments

In-house installment from the distributor — usually 12-36 months. Main benefit: simpler paperwork (no bank), often no markup for the first 6-12 months or with minimal fee. Good for SME and sole proprietors who may be declined by a bank for leasing. Requirements: contract with a legal entity or IP, minimal document pack, 30-50% down payment.

Rent with buyout

The robot goes into a long-term rental for 6-24 months. All rental payments (partially or fully) count toward the buyout cost at the end. If the trial result doesn't fit — the robot is returned with no purchase obligation. The best option for startups and grant projects, where budget is tight or there's a risk that the task won't work out.

Credit line for large deals

When buying 3+ robots or a complex bundle (e.g., a B2 fleet for oil & gas, a humanoid robotics lab with H1 + G1 + Z1), a personal credit line is negotiated — bespoke terms, long term, flexible payment schedule. The path of large corporate clients and government institutions.

What is needed for approval

• Incorporation documents of the legal entity or IP.
• Financial statements for the last 1-2 years.
• Proof of turnover and profit.
• Description of the robot's intended use (especially important for leasing).
• For rent-with-buyout — a minimal pack, no deep check.
• For a credit line — a detailed business case and ROI rationale.
