The Value of Your Billboard Lease

For some of our clients, the decision to sell their billboard lease agreement was an easy decision to make because they needed cash. Whether it was to cover a medical expense, tax bill, college tuition or debt reduction, Landmark Dividend purchased their billboard lease, closed the transaction quickly, and put a lump sum cash payment into their hands to cover their important financial need.

But what if you own a billboard lease and don’t need cash right now? Why would you sell your lease under those circumstances? For starters, it’s about obtaining maximum control of the lease value. Billboard lease rates are driven by billboard advertising costs, and so your lease’s value will always be out of your control – unless you sell it.

For the majority of our billboard clients, selling their billboard lease agreement was never about needing money right now, but rather the need to generate the best possible growth over the long term. The real value of a billboard lease agreement lies in its potential growth as a cash investment.

To fully appreciate this concept, consider your billboard lease agreement for what it really is: a financial asset. Like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, retirement accounts, bank CDs or any other financial asset that you may own, a billboard lease represents a portion of your personal wealth. And like any financial asset, it carries risk.

Although rent reduction or decommissioning of your billboard lease agreement is possible, the risk is statistically low. The far greater risk is opportunity cost. That means losing out on the opportunity to earn better growth from a financial asset. Applied to your billboard lease agreement, it means that investing the cash proceeds from the sale of your lease – whether in real estate, securities or a business – can often provide significantly stronger growth over the next 10, 20 or 30 years, compared to the cumulative monthly rent in that same time period.
