Dealership growth in 2026 will come down to one thing: access to flexible capital.
Legacy Automotive Capital’s sale-leaseback program gives dealers the ability to:
• Unlock real estate equity • Secure 100% construction financing • Support buy-sells and partner buyouts • Strengthen the balance sheet without restrictive covenants
If you’re planning for growth in 2026 leveraging the value of your real estate may be one of the most efficient capital strategies available.
With uncertain times in place, Legacy’s sale-leaseback capital program provides dealers with immediate liquidity to boost their cash positions and weather the storm.
Slide 1: Focus on liquidity, cash is king in uncertain markets
Slide 2: Legacy acquires real estate from dealer and closes in 6 weeks
Slide 3: Dealer remains in a comfortable cash position differentiating them from their competitors
Problem: Car dealers feel they are diversified. They are not, exposing personal risk to downturns in the automotive market.
Solution: Stay in the real estate business. Sell a portion of your dealership real estate to Legacy, reinvest in other forms of real estate: Apartments, Retail, etc.
Succession planning is crucial for car dealers, but accessing capital without disrupting operations can be challenging. A sale leaseback strategy unlocks real estate equity, providing liquidity to fund ownership transitions while retaining control of the dealership. This approach ensures a smooth succession, preserves working capital, and offers financial flexibility without restrictive covenants. In today’s high-cost market, leveraging real estate assets can be a game-changer for securing your dealership’s future.
Only a few years ago, the economy was thriving. Consumers had disposable income and were spending. Interest rates were low, cash requirements were low, and businesses were flush with cash. Businesses planned long term growth.
Fast forward to 2025, economists and consumers alike are nervous, interest rates are more than double, equity requirements are much higher, and cost of living and operating a business are high. Recent business goals seem impossible to achieve.
By leveraging Sale Leaseback Capital, you can get back to that 2022 business plan. This allows for stable costs of capital with no equity down required. Learn more about how our program works to see how we can get you back on track.
