A simultaneous sale leaseback (also called a concurrent sale leaseback) is a real estate transaction where the sale of a property and the execution of a lease occur at the same time, typically as part of a single closing process.
How It Works:
A business that owns its real estate agrees to sell the property to an investor.
Simultaneously, the seller signs a lease agreement to remain in the property as a tenant.
Both the sale and lease are executed together, usually in a coordinated transaction with mutually contingent documents.
Key Features:
No Interruption to Operations: The seller remains in place without moving.
Upfront Capital: The seller receives immediate cash from the sale, often used for growth, debt repayment, or reinvestment.
Long-Term Lease: Lease terms are typically 10–20 years, often NNN (triple net).
Attractive to Investors: Investors gain a stabilized, income-producing asset with an operating business in place.
Use Cases:
Private equity firms doing M&A deals and monetizing real estate
Owner-operators seeking to unlock capital
Search fund entrepreneurs acquiring businesses with owned real estate
