Our Story

Founded on Expertise, Grown on Trust

Athlon Germany GmbH was established to address a clear gap in the German financial services market: businesses of all sizes needed a leasing and factoring partner that combined institutional-grade expertise with the responsiveness of a boutique firm.

Headquartered in Düsseldorf and operating nationwide, we have grown steadily by doing things the right way – structuring agreements that genuinely work for clients, not just for our balance sheet. Today, we serve over 4,800 businesses, from regional Mittelstand companies to large enterprise clients, and manage more than €2.1 billion in assets.

Our team of over 180 specialists brings experience from banking, automotive finance, commercial real estate, and technology – giving us the breadth to advise on complex, cross-sector financing arrangements.
