What is a Sale-Leaseback?
Sale-Leaseback
A financial transaction where one sells an asset and leases it back for the long-term. The purpose of the transaction is to free up the original owner’s capital while allowing the owner to retain possession and use of the property. As a corporate treasury tool, a sale-leaseback takes the place of the debt and equity capital that a company would otherwise require to finance its real estate.

For customers wishing to defer tax gains, STORE also has efficient structural financing options available that are designed to maximize after-tax proceeds while simultaneously offering the economic advantages of a sale-leaseback.
