Sale Leaseback Applications & Benefits For Financial Sponsors


The sale leaseback strategy is a creative tool that financial sponsors use to help finance new acquisitions and enhance existing portfolio companies. By carving out the real estate assets from an operating business, either concurrent with the acquisition or later during the hold period, sponsors can unlock a meaningfully higher value for the real estate, while creating positive arbitrage through the process.
