A Sale and Leaseback Agreement is an instrument governing a transaction wherein the
owner of a property sells that property and then leases it back from the buyer. The
purpose of the leaseback is to free up the original owner's capital while allowing the
owner to retain possession and use of the property. The type of property involved can
be anything from residential or commercial real estate to equipment or vehicles. This
Agreement can be used by individuals or small businesses that want to receive
immediate capital for certain property while still retaining possession.
