PLC’s Value
Creation Model

We’ve firmly established ourselves as a significant player in Sri Lanka’s NBFI market, honing our robust business strategy over the past two decades. Our sustainability hinges greatly on this strategy, which requires continual guidance from diverse disciplines such as economics, finance, marketing, legislation, and strategy to remain agile in day-to-day operations. Moreover, People’s Leasing consistently refines its value creation model, processes, and activities to align with inputs, outputs, outcomes, and desired impacts. This adaptation is crucial given the competitive and complex market landscape, dynamic operating environment, and emerging threats to traditional business models.
