PRIVATE EQUITY

AIC Ventures is a partner that private equity firms count on to ensure sale leaseback transactions are an integrated, achievable element of their acquisition or overall capital strategy. 

Sale leaseback finance solutions offer private equity firms a unique capital resource and attractive vehicle for repositioning and enhancing EBITDA. Whether leveraged at the time of acquisition or as a resource for bolstering the position of a portfolio company, AIC Ventures provides a straightforward process that generates the desired results.

By leveraging the capital in a middle-market organization’s commercial real estate facilities, through a triple net lease, private equity firms are able to reposition corporate balance sheets, fund growth initiatives and other strategic activities.


We were compelled at first by the things AIC promised, their outstanding track record and their sterling list of references by other private equity firms. Previously engaged sale leaseback firms had re-traded our terms and even backed out of contracts, making us very skeptical that a sale leaseback could be a reasonable financing solution. However, the AIC team delivered on their promises and far exceeded our expectations. Their proficiency executed an organized and timely transaction."

"We recently closed on a very complex transaction, which involved a sale-leaseback with AIC Ventures. In working with AIC Ventures for the first time, I was extremely impressed with their level of professionalism and flexibility surrounding the unique requirements of our deal. AIC delivered on the deal presented in our initial discussions and were a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to work with them on future transactions."

Case Study: Acquisition Capital
Industry: Manufacturing
Location: Niles, Michigan
Problem: A Chicago-based private equity firm was seeking to close on the purchase of a manufacturing company. To reduce the amount of equity necessary to close the transaction, the private equity firm engaged AIC Ventures to perform a sale leaseback for the full value of the real estate asset.
Solution: The sale leaseback provided approximately 33% more in proceeds than would have been obtained with a traditional mortgage. AIC Ventures successfully closed the sale leaseback transaction at the terms originally agreed to in the letter of intent, simultaneously with the private equity firm’s purchase of the company.

Case Study: Maximize Value
Industry: Manufacturing
Location: Louisville, Kentucky
Problem: AIC Ventures was approached by a Washington, DC-based private equity firm about exploring a sale leaseback with a portfolio company. The private equity firm was seeking to sell the real estate and distribute the proceeds to investors.
Solution: The double-digit multiple on cash flow achieved via the sale leaseback created extra value above the single-digit multiple expected from the subsequent sale of the company. AIC Ventures extended its streak, 99 for 99, by closing the sale leaseback with the portfolio company.
