Sale & lease back: Liquidity gain without debt financing

More scope for your business through sale & lease back

Are you planning to expand your production, strengthen a location or hire new staff? To position your company for the future, you need financial leeway - even in turbulent times.

The sale & lease back procedure provides you with a liquidity gain without external financing by selling your industrial or logistics property at a profit and renting it from then on.

Our experts accompany you through the entire process: from the competent valuation of your property and the procurement of solvent buyers to the individual drafting and execution of the contract. So that you can profit from your short-term mobilized capital in the long term - and concentrate on the essentials: Your core business.

How sale & lease back financing works

The lease agreements concluded after the sale usually have a term of ten or more years. Accordingly, sale & lease back requires a long-term orientation, both on the part of the investors and the sellers.

For small and medium-sized companies, sale & lease back makes particular sense if the development and expansion of the business area requires a major investment - for example, to keep pace with the requirements of digitization, to rely on increasing automation or industry-specific future technologies.

In dynamic real estate markets such as Berlin, sellers of logistics, production or wholesale space can particularly benefit from the positive value development of their properties. Subsequent leasing from the new buyer can free up additional resources for the core business, as costs and effort for managing the property are saved in the future.

The advantages of sale & lease back at a glance:

1. Interest and repayments are replaced by lease payments, which can be claimed against tax
2. The increase in the equity ratio improves the company's rating and has a positive effect on follow-up financing
3. Realization of hidden reserves, if the value of the real estate has increased significantly
4. Liquidity advantages, as no borrowing costs are incurred (bank-independent form of financing)
5. Planning security through long-term leases reduces the general risk
6. Realization risks decrease: In the event that real estate prices fall, the property is no longer owned
