"Today, when my corporate clients are looking for efficient capital, asset control, balanced lease structure, as well as speed and certainty of execution in sale leaseback financing, my first thought is AIC Ventures. AIC’s seasoned professionals possess the requisite skills, integrity and expertise to quickly and effectively underwrite credit, physical real estate and location. Their investment committee is responsive and decisive.

I strongly recommend AIC Ventures as a first stop for your sale leasback needs.”

"I found [Chairman] Paul Robshaw and AIC Ventures to be a pleasure to work with on our transaction. They stood by their word when they committed to a deal. The nature of our deal was very complicated and tedious but AIC was very fair and understood the hurdles we faced. I have since referred several clients to AIC.”

Vice President, Wachovia Bank

"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.

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.”

COO, MVP Group International

"AIC was referred to us by a banking contact as an alternative to refinancing our real estate holdings in North Carolina. At first we were hesitant to consider the possibility of a sale-leaseback transaction; however we did not want to overlook opportunities.

Our real estate holdings consisted of two manufacturing facilities of approximately 835,000 square feet and 85 acres of land. This was an extremely complicated transaction and AIC made the transaction as uncomplicated as possible for our staff. I would recommend that any company looking to put their real estate equity to work consider AIC as a great option."

Vice President, Oracle Packaging

"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."

Managing Director, Monomoy Capital Partners

"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."
