SALE LEASEBACK AND CREDIT TENANT LEASES

A sale leaseback or credit tenant lease program can be an effective way to reduce the negative impact of real estate ownership while simultaneously obtaining low-cost financing. Using this program, you “sell” your real estate to Wachovia, and we lease it back to you for a fixed period as the lessor/owner. You effectively control the property after the sale, and retain the right to buy back the property at a pre-agreed price.

Advantages of Sale Leaseback

Generates cash, improving liquidity
Provides off-balance sheet financing
Allows you to focus your assets on core operations
Provides more efficient utilization of real estate tax benefits, if your company has a net operating loss
Reduces the negative impact of depreciation and interest on your income statement
Improves financial and performance measurement ratios such as return on assets
Hedges against obsolescence
May help you avoid or reduce liability for minimum tax, because tax-oriented leasing, unlike ownership, does not create tax preference items
