Why Not Use A Lender?

Why Not Use A Lender?

Many of the most profitable Top 150 dealers utilize Sale-Leaseback Capital for a portion of their transactions, here’s why:

Lenders require:

  • Lender Underwriting is burdensome to a business owner
  • Heavy guaranty structures, oftentimes personal
  • Heavy cash investment into a transaction, trapping equity in a transaction

Sale-Leaseback alternative:

  •  Legacy acquires at 100%+ of appraised value, trapping $0 equity
  • Light underwriting: Legacy acquires the property through a simple review of OEM statements
  • Our pricing maintains throughout the transaction
  • Closing is faster, as soon as 6 weeks

4 Questions Dealer Principals Should Be Asking About Their Real Estate

4 Questions Dealer Principals Should Be Asking About Their Real Estate

At some point, every dealer principal should consider how their real estate fits into their long-term strategy.

Your dealership may be performing at a high level—but a significant amount of capital may still be tied up in the real estate.

Understanding your options requires evaluating your business, marketconditions, and long-term financial goals.

1) Do you know what your dealership real estate is worth today?

Many dealers are surprised to learn how much capital is tied up in their real estate—and how that value has changed in today’s market. Understanding current value is the first step in evaluating your options.

2) Is your real estate working as hard as your dealership?

While your dealership generates operating income, your real estate may be sitting idle from a capital standpoint. A sale-leaseback allows you to unlock that equity and put it to work.

3) Could your real estate fund your next move?

Dealers are using sale-leasebacks to:
  • Fund acquisitions
  • Execute partner buyouts
  • Complete OEM image programs
  • Strengthen liquidity
Your real estate can be a strategic source of capital—not just a fixed asset.

4) Do you have a plan for the capital tied up in your real estate?

Unlocking capital is one step—but knowing how to deploy it is just as important.

Many dealers are using sale-leasebacks as part of a broader capital strategy to grow and diversify.
