Sale and leaseback of assets

Our simple sale and leaseback process gives your business cash for your existing IT, industrial and healthcare assets and immediately provides you with strong budget and refresh information.

What is sale and leaseback of assets?

A sale and leaseback of assets is an asset-based financing model, where a company sells their fixed assets to a company and then leases them back for a fixed monthly fee, over an agreed term.

This type of financing offers an alternative to traditional financing, allowing businesses to free up capital they have already invested in assets and maximise the value of their existing technology, without losing the use of those assets.

Unlike a loan, which would be shown on the company’s balance sheet as a debt, a sale and leaseback transaction can bring down liability and increase current assets. A further benefit of this type of financing is that rates are generally more favourable than other types of borrowing.

Benefit from switching to a structured leasing model

We can offer a sale and leaseback of your assets, which allows you to raise capital by selling your existing IT, industrial or healthcare assets to CHG-MERIDIAN. How can this solution benefit your business exactly? Well, this programme presents your organisation with an influx of cash while you retain all the benefits of usage, yet transfer the risk of ownership and disposal of the assets to us. There is zero disruption to you, no need to retrain staff on new equipment all while providing you with additional capital budget.

If your assets are less than 4 months old, we promise to pay you the original purchase price, if they are older than 4 months, we promise to pay the equivalent net book value of the assets.
