Sale and lease back

Sale and lease back financing enables you to unlock capital and secure additional liquidity to support your investment plans.

What does the financing cover?

Under a property sale and lease back finance contract, the leasing company purchases and leases back a property already owned by the company, with a waiver of the requirement to pay transfer taxes.

Under an equipment sale and lease back finance contract, the leasing company purchases equipment owned by the business at its depreciated value and leases it back to the same company.  

At a glance

• Contract duration of properties: A sale and leaseback property contract has a minimum term of 10 years, with prepayment options available. At the same time, businesses are exempted from property transfer taxes at the end of the contract
• Contract duration of equipment: A sale and lease back equipment contract has a minimum term of 3 years, and align with the general terms of equipment leasing agreements. At the end of the lease agreement, the equipment is transferred to the lessee for a symbolic price, agreed upon at the outset.

It should be noted that sale and lease back does not apply to self-employed professionals, according to the current legal framework.
