Strategy
The Neptune Partners European Net-Lease Platform provides real estate sale-leaseback financing to SMEs or non-investment-grade companies. Allowing corporate owners access to credit, the driving force of sale-leaseback demand.
We create made-to-measure deal structures to address the unique needs of each seller through sale-leasebacks, build-to-suits, and acquisitions of existing net-leases.
Neptune is leveraging its deep credit underwriting expertise, proven track record, and extensive experience building new markets, to cover an enormous underserved space.
Investment Philosophy
Sale Leaseback Transaction
In a sale-leaseback, a company sells its real estate to an investor like Neptune Partners for cash and simultaneously enters into a long-term lease.
In doing so, the company extracts 100% of the property’s value and converts an otherwise illiquid asset into working capital to reinvest in its business or pay down debt, while maintaining operational control.
Benefits of Sale Leasebacks
Immediate Access to Capital
Access liquidity to invest in core business, including balance sheet recapitalization, business expansion, and new acquisitions
Alternative Capital Source
Access to alternative, more convenient, financing options than traditional debt solutions
Market Value Realization
Obtain 100% of the property’s market value - not available with traditional debt alternatives
Maintain Operational Control
Maintain control of the facility, just like when it was owned
Potential Tax Benefits
Depending on local tax laws, rental payments could be deducted, reducing tax burden
Long-term Partner
Neptune Partners could bring the capital to fund future expansions, build-to-suits, and renovations
