Confidential Industrial Sale & Leaseback

Connecting industrial & logistics owner-occupiers with capital.

We connect industrial business owners with institutional capital, helping owners unlock the capital tied up in their real estate while sourcing proprietary acquisition opportunities for institutional investors.

Confidentially. Directly. On both sides' terms.

What We Do

We sit between two sides of the same deal.

On one side, industrial and logistics owner-occupiers with millions of capital tied up in the buildings they operate from. On the other, institutional capital looking for long-income industrial assets. We originate and run the confidential connection between them.

The owner-occupier
Capital, locked in the building.

An industrial or logistics business that owns and operates from its facility, with significant value sitting idle in the real estate. It wants that capital back, without moving, borrowing, or going public.

Scayled
Institutional capital
Capital, looking for long income.

Funds, net-lease investors, and family offices seeking credit-worthy industrial assets on long leases, off-market, and matched to a clear mandate rather than bid for in an open campaign.

One sale and leaseback resolves both: the owner unlocks capital and stays put, and the investor acquires a long-let industrial asset.

Every conversation is confidential.

We never market your property.
We never publish your information.
We never approach investors without your approval.
We only make introductions once both parties have agreed to have the conversation.
How It Works

One confidential process that connects the two sides.

From the first quiet conversation to a completed sale and leaseback, one process carries both parties. No campaign, no auction, no public listing at any point.

01

Research

We identify industrial and logistics owner-occupiers where a sale and leaseback could create strategic value, market by market, and study the business behind each building.

For the owner
Nothing is public. Research is just research.
For the investor
Coverage built from the ground up, not from what happens to be for sale.
02

Conversation

We approach the owner privately, with no listing and no obligation, and understand what they want: the lease, the timing, and what releasing the capital would let them do next.

For the owner
You set the terms before anyone else is involved.
For the investor
Only owners with real intent move forward.
03

Introduction

The moment there is genuine intent to sell, we connect the owner with a single, matched investor. One introduction, made directly, with the owner's approval.

For the owner
You approve who you are introduced to.
For the investor
Exclusive and off-market. No teaser, no auction.
04

Negotiation

Both sides receive the full picture and deal directly. Price, lease terms, and timing are agreed between the two parties. We support the process rather than run a campaign.

For the owner
You know exactly who you are selling to, and leasing from.
For the investor
You underwrite the operator's full story, not a teaser.
05

Completion

The property changes hands and the business stays in it on a long-term lease. The capital is released, the operation is uninterrupted, and the investor holds a long-let industrial asset.

For the owner
Capital unlocked, business untouched.
For the investor
A committed tenant from the day it closes.
Why Direct

A sale and leaseback is not a listing. It's a partnership.

The owner becomes the investor's tenant for the next decade or more. A public campaign optimises one number for one moment. It cannot optimise the lease, the fit, or a ten-year relationship. A direct, confidential connection can, and it serves both sides.

The Outcome

One deal. Two outcomes.

The connection only holds if both sides win. Here is what each walks away with.

The owner-occupier

Capital unlocked

The full value of your property released into the business, without borrowing against it.

Business untouched

Same address, same team, same customers, on a long-term lease with terms you negotiate.

Control kept, fully confidential

You set the terms, approve every step, and nothing is ever marketed. The price is benchmarked to the market, and exploring costs you nothing.

Institutional capital

Long income, real covenant

An operating business that stays and pays. You underwrite a committed tenant on a long lease, not a vacant box to re-let.

Genuinely proprietary

Sourced before any public process and introduced to one fund. No teaser doing the rounds, no bidding war to inflate the price.

An institutional brief

Business, property, ownership, and financial indicators prepared and verified before you spend a day of your team's time.

How We Source

Proprietary, not picked off a list.

We work each market from the ground up. Every owner we introduce to capital has been narrowed, by hand, from thousands of buildings to a handful genuinely ready to have the conversation.

Who's Behind Scayled

Built by industrial brokers.

Scayled is led by a team of ex-industrial and logistics brokers with over 20 years of combined experience across firms such as Savills and Colliers. We have sat on both sides of these deals: walking an owner through their options, and finding the right home for institutional capital.

Before building Scayled, our team represented industrial owners and occupiers across global brokerage platforms. We understand how operators think, what triggers a sale and leaseback conversation, and how to approach an owner without disrupting their business. That is why owners take our call.

It also means we treat a sale and leaseback for what it is: not a transaction to rush to market, but a decade-long relationship between an owner and their new landlord. We protect the confidentiality, do the groundwork, and only make an introduction when it's genuinely right for both sides.
