A sale-leaseback is a financing transaction where a company sells its owned real estate and simultaneously leases the property back on a long-term basis. The company retains complete operational control over the property, as if it were the owner.

A sale-leaseback monetizes a company’s real estate assets, freeing up capital to invest in its higher-returning core business, pay down debt, or make a dividend to the equity holders.
