Definition from
BusinessDictionary.com:
Ability to influence a system, or an environment, in a way that multiplies the outcome of one's efforts without a corresponding increase in the consumption of resources. In other words, leverage is an advantageous-condition of having a relatively small amount of cost yield a relatively high level of returns. Thus, "doing a lot with a little.” See also financial leverage and operating leverage.
Example sentences:
Most companies use debt to finance operations. By doing so, a company increases its leverage because it can invest in business operations without increasing its equity. (investopedia.com)
So, the first step in getting leverage to work for you is to get the highest possible return from your commercial activities. (jimconnolly.com)
Leverage can be experienced through aligning yourself with other businesses that compliment you, your values, your beliefs, and your products or services (risingwomen.com)

vipuvaikutus
Definition from
www.sanakirja.org:
"Leverage" has 2 meanings in business English, ergo also in Finnish: the one NOT expressed here (velkaantuneisuusaste) is depts versus equity ratio. The meaning requested here (vipuvaikutus) is same as Brittish English "gearing": large profit with small capital increase" to say it shortly
Example sentences:
Vipuvaikutus Vipuvaikutus on warrantin etu, koska kohde-etuus on vipuvaikutuksen verran kalliimpi kuin vastaava määrä osakkeita. Esimerkiksi jos vipuvaikutus on 4, antaa se mahdollisuuden nejä kertaa suurempaan pääoman kasvuun kuin vastaava nousu ómistettaessa kohde-etuus. Vipuvaikutusta kutsutaan myös Gearingiksi. Vipuvaikutus voidaan laskea seuraavan kaavan mukaan: Kohde-etuuden hinta / (warrantin hinta x warrantin kerroin) (Societe General Group)

vipuvoima
Definition from
own experience or research:
Vipuvaikutus is a correct translation, but vipuvoima is also used.
Example sentences:
Yrityksen rahoituksellinen riski kasvaa, kun taloudellinen vipuvoima nousee. Taloudellisella vipuvoimalla tarkoitetaan lainarahoitusta, jonka turvin voidaan kasvattaa myös oman pääoman tuottoa. Negatiivinen vipuvaikutus toteutuu silloin, kun koko pääoman tuotto jää alle vieraan pääoman koron. (Maa- ja elintarviketalouden tutkimuskesk)
Vipuvoimaa EU:lta EU-raha antaa vipuvoimaa, jonka avulla suomalaisten ideat voidaan muuttaa käytännön kehittämishankkeiksi. Rahasummaa suurempi hyöty, vipuvoima, saadaan uusista toimintamalleista ja osaamisesta, jota hankkeet luovat. (EU Rakennerahasto)

: 'Vipuvaikutus' often refers to stock exchange trading, while 'vipuvoima' may be used in a wider range of contexts. 'Vipuvoima' includes the meaning 'ability to influence', matching the definition. 'Vipuvaikutus' merely refers to the influence.
