Samples of where a sale-leaseback financing may be perfect

Manufacturing – A medium-sized manufacturer of a famous child’s toy in the mid-west receives a massive order from a long-term client for twice their average capacity. Rather than turn the order down, the savvy owner does a sale-leaseback on $500,000 of his CNC machines and uses the proceeds to add more personnel for a 3rd shift fulfilling the order and now able to expand and take on more clients.

Food Packaging – A small packager of poultry products on the east coast hears that a competitor had experienced a downturn and offering his business for sale. Recognizing an opportunity to capture market share and bring on new customers and all of their production equipment was too good to pass up, but how can he pay for it? Solution – do a sale-leaseback on $1,000,000 worth of closing machines, capping machines, and a giant vacuum packaging machine.
