Benefits of a Sale-Leaseback


In a sale-leaseback transaction, the real estate buyer will purchase and leaseback the property to the current owners.

In addition to purchasing the property, some of these buyers will also provide the capital needed to expand and/or renovate the ASC/MOB without loan guarantees from the physicians/sellers.

The many potential benefits of a sale-leaseback include:

• Sellers receive cash to invest in growth investments or to reinvest into the business.
• Provides capital to modernize or expand the facility.
• Sellers can pay down existing business debt and remove loan guarantees.
• Sellers can pay off construction loans and business equipment increasing EBITDA.
• Resetting the lease can lower rent and increase EBITDA.
• Could eliminate ordinary income tax on rent received.
• Sellers can maintain full operating control over the property.
• Removes potential conflicts between partners who do not own the real estate.
• Facilitates adding new partners who do not have to buy into the real estate.
• Sellers can have the option to stay on as minority partners in the real estate.
