A secure lease is a legally binding lease agreement that has:
long-term duration (10–30 years).
A creditworthy tenant (e.g government, banks, large corporations)
A predictable and enforceable income stream.
What Is Lease Monetization?
Lease monetization is converting the future lease income into present-day capital. It involves leveraging the lease to access funds through:
Collateral-based loans
Sale or assignment of receivables
Issuance and monetization of financial instruments (e.g SBLC, BG)
Secure Lease Monetization Programs How it Works

The cash proceeds are paid to the asset holder or used in an investment program.
