A real estate sale leaseback, coupled with an asset-based loan, can improve the financial condition of a borrowing company.

AIC Ventures acquires middle-market companies’ real estate for full-market value; resulting in an improved cash position and providing a flexible, lower-cost alternative to equity or mezzanine debt. As an operating lease, the sale leaseback transaction improves the company’s strategic performance metrics.

In an environment of shortened amoritization schedules, higher interest rates, reduced advanced rates and more restrictive financial covenants, a sale leaseback enables the asset-based lender to reduce, or in some cases, eliminate the term loan and lend against a company’s liquid assets.

"We just completed a very challenging sale/leaseback transaction with AIC Ventures where we had set a very aggressive date on which to get the transaction closed. The team at AIC never wavered. When it looked as though we were not going to make it, they worked harder and longer hours. Actually, on the last day before the deadline, there were team members who worked through the night to assure the deal getting done.

Finding a group of people this committed to doing what they say they're going to do is rare in today's business world, but not with these guys, and, amazingly enough, this attitude permeates their entire organization. Even if you're only vaguely interested or knowledgeable in sale/leasebacks, please give AIC a call. They'll be candid with you and let you know within 72 hours what they can and cannot do. And if they say they can help you -- write it down, because it WILL happen.”

CFO, R.L. Stowe Mills

"AIC Ventures' sale leaseback was a key component in the financing of our acquisition. It was a complicated transaction with the sale leaseback closing concurrently with four other transactions. We were pleased with AIC Ventures' ability to close quickly while maintaining their ability to respond quickly and decisively to our needs."
