A sale-leaseback is not necessarily the best solution for every company’s capital needs. But like any corporate finance option, it should always be carefully evaluated as a finance strategy.
These companies did their homework and are happy they did!
Am-Mex Products
This “maquilladoro” company in Texas and Mexico used its proceeds as the major step in its owners’ long-term exit strategy.
Hussey Seating
The oldest family-owned business in Maine, this company used proceeds for working capital to finance their growth strategy to retire more expensive junior debt.

Therefore, PE firms put their capital into the business and not the real estate.
