Are you looking for a way to achieve significantly higher real estate values? A sale-leaseback is a financing tool that allows property owners to sell their real estate assets to another buyer as they sign a long-term lease to be the tenant, securing the location in the process. Simply put, the seller of the asset becomes the lessee as the purchaser becomes the lessor.

The benefits of a sale-leaseback are broken down into that of the original seller and the purchaser. It creates a mutually beneficial agreement that creates opportunities for both parties to see positive impacts in their financial pursuits.
For the original seller, one of the first benefits to consider with a sale-leaseback is that it is an alternative method of raising capital. In the instance of a loan, the company must repay the money, making it appear on their balance sheet as debt. With a sale-leaseback, the liability on the balance sheet decreases, while the current assets will increase. It does not present the same appearance of debt in the long-term overview of the business.
Along with the benefits present on the balance sheet, sale-leasebacks give you the chance to grow your business with ease. This means you can use the capital to open other locations, expand the current company, or acquire another business or real estate property. As you grow, the volatility risks of owning the asset decrease with this method.
On the other hand, the purchaser can expect benefits as well. From the start, they achieve ownership of a cash-flowing asset that also happens to be backed by a long-term lease. They also know that the long-term lease is tied to someone who wants to be a tenant and continue to utilize the property because of how a sale-leaseback originates. As a result, the purchaser can deduct the property’s depreciation expenses from their income taxes.
