Sale-and-lease-back: secure liquidity, reduce costs

Leasing instead of buying: The revolution in the use of reusable containers

In modern logistics, a previously underutilised field is becoming increasingly attractive: the sale-and-lease-back of reusable containers. This method enables companies to release tied-up capital and increase their liquidity without burdening their credit lines with banks and lenders.

Leasing is the new buying

The sale-and-lease-back concept is based on the idea of selling existing reusable containers and then leasing them back. This gives companies immediate financial resources that they can invest in other strategically important areas. This represents a move away from the traditional practice of ownership towards a more flexible and efficient utilisation of resources.

Using instead of owning

At a time when liquidity plays a central role in a company’s success, the principle of “using instead of owning” is becoming increasingly important. Sale-and-lease-back enables companies to optimise their logistics processes and increase their financial flexibility at the same time. This enables them to react quickly to market changes and focus investments on core competences.

Liquidity is the new gold in the industry

In today’s industry, liquidity is the new gold. Companies that have sufficient liquid assets are better able to respond to challenges and capitalise on growth opportunities. The sale-and-lease-back model offers an ideal solution to maximise this liquidity. By selling their returnable containers to specialised service providers and then leasing them back, companies can create immediate liquidity without having to provide additional collateral.

Keyword: Cash rules

“Cash rules” is the new buzzword in the industry. The ability to access liquidity quickly gives companies a clear competitive advantage. The sale-and-lease-back of returnable containers is an effective tool to ensure this flexibility. Service providers such as sprintBOX offer unbureaucratic and fast solutions that help companies to create immediate financial freedom.

Conclusion: Sale-and-lease-back as the key to financial flexibility
