A sale-leaseback involves selling your owned real estate and then immediately leasing it back on a long-term basis. Sale–leasebacks can offer more capital than traditional bank financing, improve return on investment/equity, and maximize your company’s market valuation. Sale-leasebacks provide flexible, long-term capital that eliminate refinancing risks, and the operator maintains control of the real estate. They are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates and there are no covenants restricting what your company can or cannot do. Sale-leasebacks have limited assignment restrictions, avoid real estate market cyclicality, and rent is fully tax-deductible.

Reducing equity capital increases the return on equity/investment. This will also reduce the amount of bank debt financing required to buy a competitor and grow your business.
