Low-Cost Non-Dilutive Capital
Mezzanine-Type Leverage at the Cost of Senior Debt from a Partner Who Behaves Like Preferred Equity
A Sale-to-Service is the Sale-Leaseback for the Modern Economy
Intangible Assets
The U.S. has moved from an industrial economy reliant on physical assets like equipment and real estate to a service economy reliant on intangible assets, assets often described as a company’s know-how or intellectual property.
Sale-to-Service
Leeward’s patent-pending Sale-to-Service® structure, which is similar to a sale-leaseback or operating lease of physical assets, monetizes server-based intangible assets, also described as mission-critical systems and data.
Value Proposition
A Sale-to-Service® delivers a low-cost covenant-free alternative to mezzanine debt and minority equity for liquidity events, management and shareholder buyouts, family ownership transitions, and acquisitions.
Enterprise Value & Sale-to-Service
Leeward’s Sale-to-Service® (S2S®) unlocks the value of a company’s mission-critical systems and data, server-based assets that have been enhanced and customized over years and are essential to business. These intangible assets have little to no value on a company’s balance sheet but comprise a large part of a company’s enterprise value.
Capital Structure & Sale-to-Service
An S2S® fits into the capital structure as an alternative to mezzanine debt and minority equity. Leeward can also provide senior debt alongside its S2S® offering a comprehensive source of capital for closely-held and related-party transactions.
