What is a Sale-Leaseback?
The purpose of sale-leasebacks is to free up the owner’s equity while allowing the owner to retain control and use of the property. As a corporate treasury tool, a sale-leaseback takes the place of debt and equity capital that a company would otherwise require to finance its real estate.
- Release yourself from restrictive bank covenants
- Prepare your business for sale
- Right size your balance sheet
- Restructure your capital stack
