The challenge

Your balance sheet is holding a building.

For many industrial companies, one of the largest assets they own is the facility they operate from. That value sits still while the business needs capital to move.

Modern industrial facility with loading docks and freight trucks

Capital locked in real estate

Equity in your plant or warehouse is not working for your core business.

Debt that limits flexibility

Bank financing adds covenants and caps how much value you can access.

Growth plans on hold

Expansion, new equipment and new markets wait while funding is arranged.

How it works

What is a sale leaseback?

A sale leaseback is a transaction where a company sells the industrial property it owns and occupies to an investor, then immediately leases it back under a long term lease. The company keeps operating from the same facility and turns its real estate equity into capital for the business.

01

Sell your facility

An investor buys your property at market value.

02

Lease it back

You sign a long term lease, agreed before closing.

03

Keep operating

Your team, equipment and operations stay exactly where they are.

04

Redeploy the capital

Invest in growth, pay down debt or fund expansion.

Why owners choose it
