sale and leaseback

Definition

Off balance sheet financing' in which an owner sells an asset or property to a leasing firm and, at the same time, leases it (as a lessee) on a long-term basis to retain exclusive possession and use. Although this arrangement frees capital tied up in a fixed asset, the original owner loses depreciation and tax benefits. Also called just leaseback. See also sale and buyback.
