Sale-Leaseback Transactions

A sale-leaseback transaction involves a property owner selling an asset, like real estate or equipment, to a buyer and then immediately leasing it back from that buyer. This allows the seller to continue using the asset while obtaining cash from the sale. It’s a way for businesses to free up capital for other investments or expenses without losing the use of important assets. The new owner earns rental income, while the original owner maintains operational control, effectively blending ownership and leasing into a single, strategic financial move.
