WITH A

sale-leaseback

AT FORTIS CAPITAL SOLUTIONS, THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

The SALE-LEASEBACK AGREEMENT EXPLAINED

A sale‐leaseback is a financial transaction where the owner of an asset sells their real estate asset and subsequently leases it back from the new owner. In real estate, a leaseback allows the owner‐occupant of a property to sell it to an investor‐landlord while continuing to exclusively occupy the property. The seller then becomes a lessee of the property while the purchaser becomes the lessor.

HOW DOES A SALE‐LEASEBACK TRANSACTION WORK?

A real estate sale-leaseback transaction consists of two related agreements:

The property’s current owner‐occupier agrees to sell the asset to an investor for a fixed price provided that;

The new owner (buyer) agrees to lease the property back to the existing occupant under a long‐term leaseback agreement, thereby becoming the new landlord.

This transaction allows a seller to remain an occupant of a property while transferring ownership of an asset to an investor in return for a significant amount of capital. The purchaser, meanwhile, is buying a property with a long‐term tenant already in place.

BENEFITS OF A SALE-LEASEBACK

REALIZE 100% OF THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY

Sale-Leaseback proceeds are equal to 100% of the property value rather than a loan, which typically funds 65-70% of value.

IMPROVING YOUR BALANCE SHEET

By selling the real estate, the company is converting a long-term nonliquid asset into cash/working capital.

IMPROVED INCOME STATEMENT

The Real Estate sale can reduce the negative impact of depreciation on your income statement.

ACCESS TO CAPITAL

You have equity sitting in real estate. Unlock that Equity and put that money to work. Capital received from a Sale-Leaseback transaction can be deployed into your core operations of your business to yield higher returns than the real estate. You can use it to: Expand your business, grow your footprint, add new locations, make Capital Improvements, etc,…

TAX BENEFITS

By leasing its facility, a company can write off their entire lease payments, rather than only the interest portion of a mortgage payment.

FLEXIBILITY OF LEASE & MAINTAIN CONTROL

The lease is structured in a way that best fits the tenant’s needs so that the tenant maintains full operating control over the space it occupies.

SALE‐LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS CAN BE A WIN‐WIN FOR BOTH THE BUYER & SELLER.

A sale‐leaseback transaction allows a property owner to cash in on the value of a real estate asset without having to give up use of the property itself. Meanwhile, investors/landlords can purchase properties producing immediate cash flow backed by a long‐term lease with a tenant that wants to remain an occupant. That makes it a beneficial transaction for both parties.
