🏭 Unlocking Capital Without Moving: Seller Leasebacks for Industrial Owner-Users

If you own the building your company operates in β€” whether you're a manufacturer, distributor, trucking company, or equipment rental business β€” you may be sitting on untapped capital. One of the most strategic ways to access that equity while continuing operations uninterrupted is through a seller leaseback.

At WarehouseOfferNow.com, we specialize in helping owner-users realize value through flexible, off-market sale-leaseback transactions tailored to your specific business type.

πŸ” What Is a Seller Leaseback?

A seller leaseback (or sale-leaseback) is a transaction where you sell your industrial building and simultaneously lease it back from the buyer, allowing your business to:

  • Stay in place and operate normally

  • Free up equity for expansion, equipment, debt reduction, or M&A

  • Lock in long-term occupancy with favorable terms

You're essentially converting a fixed asset into working capital β€” without giving up your location or operations.

🏭 Who Does This Work Best For?

We’ve structured seller leasebacks with a wide range of industrial owner-users across sectors:

🚚 Trucking & Logistics Companies

Need room for tractors, trailers, or cross-docking but want to invest in fleet growth? Sell the real estate, lease it back, and put the proceeds into revenue-generating operations.

πŸ—οΈ Equipment Rental & Service Providers

Have a yard full of rental equipment and a service shop on-site? A leaseback lets you monetize the land while keeping your facility intact.

🏭 Light Manufacturing & Fabrication

Own a fabrication or assembly facility? Use a leaseback to unlock value and reinvest in new machinery or higher-output capacity.

🧱 Building Supply, HVAC, and Trades Businesses

Operate out of a flex or warehouse facility with outdoor storage? These are prime properties for leasebacks β€” and buyers love the strong tenancy from trade-oriented users.

πŸ”€ Flexible Terms: You Set the Lease Structure

Seller leasebacks are not one-size-fits-all. We work with owners to customize lease terms that match your business needs. Options include:

  • Short- or long-term leases (from 3 to 15+ years)

  • Triple net (NNN), gross, or modified gross lease structures

  • Early buyback rights or purchase options

  • Rent credits if you're planning a future move

  • Capital improvement allowances for site upgrades or expansions

πŸ’‘ Institutional and private investors often compete for high-quality owner-user leasebacks β€” which means better pricing for you.

πŸ’Έ Why Do Investors Love Seller Leasebacks?

Buyers β€” especially institutional capital and 1031 exchange investors β€” prefer leasebacks because:

  • There's already a tenant in place (you!)

  • Leasebacks often offer reliable, long-term returns

  • They minimize vacancy risk and upfront leasing costs

That means stronger valuations and more aggressive offers for your building compared to a vacant listing.
