For owner-operators

Unlock your yard's value. Keep the keys.

Your outdoor storage yard is likely one of the biggest assets on your balance sheet, and it's sitting idle as equity. A sale-leaseback lets you sell the property to Montana IOS, sign a long-term lease, and keep running your business on the same ground without missing a day.

01

Turn equity into cash

Receive up to 100% of the property's market value, versus the 60–75% a typical bank loan will advance against it.

02

Zero disruption

Your trucks, equipment, and crews stay put. No move, no downtime, no change for your customers.

03

Fund what earns more

Put capital into fleet, acquisitions, hiring, or paying down higher-cost debt instead of leaving it tied up in dirt.

04

Cleaner balance sheet

Retire mortgage debt and swap a lumpy capital asset for a predictable, budgetable rent payment.

05

Lease built around you

We structure term length, renewal options, and rent escalations to fit your operating plans, not a one-size template.

06

Plan your exit or succession

Capture today's value ahead of a sale, retirement, or partner buyout while the business keeps operating.
