What you can do with your lump payment
-
Pay Off Debt
Many of the landowners we have done business with have seen selling their royalties as a chance to get in the black. Your wind royalties are a ready source of quick capital to help fulfill any financial obligation you might have. We make strong offers, we move at whatever pace you are comfortable with and we make a point of funding each transaction at closing.
-
Invest
Many of the landowners who have sold royalties to us have done so because they had investment opportunities that required an influx of cash. These opportunities simply had a greater return potential than the royalty payments metered out over the life of the wind project, so selling their wind royalty was the logical thing to do.
-
Buy More Land
Many of the landowners who show an interest in selling their wind royalty see Green Scout as a source of capital to buy more land and expand their farming or ranching operations. We are essentially a new source of equity that can help facilitate otherwise impractical land transactions.
-
Hedge
Wholesale power price fluctuations, grid reliability problems, turbine maintenance issues and unpredictable energy policy are just a few of the factors that create uncertainty about how much your turbines will ultimately pay out. Selling a portion of your royalty is a hedge against this uncertainty, giving you cash in hand while leaving you with an interest in the turbines.

Investment Case For Selling your Wind Royalty
Choosing to take a lump sum rather than waiting for periodic royalty payments opens up a great investment opportunity. Investing the proceeds from a royalty sale and earning a modest return will result in far more money in the long term.
