Document background
The Sale Lease Back Agreement is a strategic financial instrument used when organizations seek to release capital from their assets while maintaining operational control. This document type is particularly relevant in Belgium, where specific civil law provisions govern both sale and lease aspects of the transaction. The agreement is commonly used for real estate, industrial equipment, or other valuable assets, allowing companies to improve their liquidity position while retaining use of essential operational assets. The document must comply with Belgian legal requirements, including specific tax regulations, registration duties, and accounting standards. It typically includes detailed provisions on the initial sale, subsequent lease terms, maintenance responsibilities, insurance requirements, and potential repurchase options. The Sale Lease Back Agreement is especially valuable during business restructuring, expansion phases, or when companies need to optimize their balance sheet while ensuring business continuity.
