WHAT THIS PRODUCT SOLVES

The Problem
Across Africa, corporations hold $300B+ in under-performing real estate — while facing:
• Rising capital expenditures
• Balance-sheet pressure
• Regulatory liquidity requirements
• Expansion demands without access to affordable debt
• High cost of capital (18–26% in some markets)
The N3 Solution
A structured 15-year Sale-Leaseback covenant that releases 85–90% of the property's market value today—
while the corporation continues to operate uninterrupted in the same facility under an optimized long-term lease.
