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

Wachovia can help you discover the right financing vehicle from a wide range of alternative strategies.
