Sale-and-lease-back: How to reveal the hidden treasures of your IT.

Practical example: How sale and leaseback creates immediate investment scope from IT assets.

In many companies, there is more capital hidden in IT than the balance sheet shows.

Notebooks, servers, storage, or smartphones—they are in operation but have long since been written off or reported as CAPEX. This ties up capital in hardware that could actually be used for innovation and transformation.

A "X-ray view" of your IT reveals:

Hidden value beneath the surface – silent reserves that your company can immediately release and use as a competitive advantage.

This is how you can transform tied-up capital into available budget – quickly, predictably, and without technical changes.

The solution: sale and leaseback (SLB).

You sell your existing IT assets to a financing partner and lease them back directly. The equipment remains in use, your operations continue unchanged – but you gain immediate liquidity and relieve the burden on your balance sheet.

A calculation example: IT resources worth €80 million

An international corporation has around 50,000 end devices (notebooks, smartphones) and 5,000 server and storage systems. The balance sheet residual value of this IT infrastructure is around €80 million.

Sale-and-lease-back allows a large portion of this capital to be released and made immediately available for strategic projects such as cloud migration, AI pilot projects, or data center modernization. The devices remain in use and operations continue unchanged, but liquidity and balance sheet flexibility increase significantly.

In short:  Your IT stays where it is – but your capital breaks new ground.
