Wineries and vineyards are highly capital-intensive. A VinREIT sale leaseback combines debt and equity in a one-stop financing solution. Consequently, the blended cost of capital is a competitive, attractive, convenient and reasonably-priced financing solution.

Because no equity is required, VinREIT financing is a one-stop financing solution. Owners can now acquire and control additional needed property with no up-front investment required.

Unlike conventional debt financing, the VinREIT solution has:

• No equity requirements
• No personal guarantees
• No blanket liens or cross-collateralization
• No short-term calls or maturities
• No detailed and frequent financial reporting requirements or covenants
• No involvement in your business
