In addition to its business activities, BSL actively collaborates with the Vietnam Leasing Association and various business associations to organize seminars, workshops, and industry events, contributing to the development of legal policies that provide a framework for financial leasing activities and raising awareness about the role and benefits of financial leasing for business development. These activities help businesses better understand the advantages and application of financial leasing while affirming BSL’s commitment to promoting a transparent, professional, and sustainable market.
