What are CAPEX and OPEX, and what is the difference?

CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) refers to capital expenditures: the purchase of equipment, a facility, or a durable asset. OPEX (Operational Expenditure) refers to current operating expenses: rents, subscriptions, and service contracts. Buying a boiler is CAPEX. Renting that same boiler from Tibbloc is OPEX. This distinction is fundamental from an accounting, tax, and financial perspective.

Why is OPEX leasing more advantageous than CAPEX purchasing?
  • Cash flow preservation: no significant one-time cash outlay
  • Preservation of borrowing capacity: the balance sheet is not burdened by a fixed asset
  • Tax-deductible expenses: rental payments are operating expenses deductible from taxable income
  • Predictable budgeting: a fixed, pre-determined rent facilitates budget management
  • No depreciation risk: the equipment remains the property of Tibbloc
  • Total flexibility: leasing adapts to the actual duration of the requirement
