Understanding Special Leasing Arrangements: Sale and Leaseback, Cross-border Leasing and Subleasing

This Skill Bit shows that special leasing forms, such as sale and leaseback, cross-border leasing, and subleasing, offer flexibility in asset management and financing. Sale and leaseback frees up capital by selling and leasing back an asset, providing cash flow but potentially higher long-term costs. Cross-border leasing allows assets to be leased in one country and used in another, offering tax advantages while posing regulatory risks. Subleasing reduces costs by renting out leased property to a third party but requires landlord approval and legal compliance.
