    A sale-leaseback is a transaction whereby a company sells their real estate and leases it back from the purchaser.

    Generates Cash: The seller is able to create liquidity that was once tied up in a physical asset. Cash can then be used to expand the business, invest in the business, paydown other debt, or provide liquidity for personal reasons (buying a new home, retiring, college, etc.)

    Alternative Financing: Sale-leasebacks allow sellers to structure the lease term to avoid traditional lending payment structures. Sale-leasebacks may also provide buyers with lower interest rates, which can translate to reduced rental payments to the seller.

    Improves the Company Fundamentals: Sellers are able to replace a fixed asset with a current asset such as cash in a sale-leaseback. The seller’s rent obligation is disclosed to the balance sheet, not a liability, thus increasing the ratio of current assets to current liabilities on the books. Rent is also a deductible business expense for tax purposes.
