As your business grows, one of the most exciting (and nerve-wracking) situations is when you start to think about buying commercial real estate for your business. So how do you know whether it’s best to buy or lease?
In addition to considering where your business is in terms of age, growth stage, and cash needs, you will also want to consider your capacity for operating the property. Owning a building means that you are also solely responsible for repairs and maintenance, which may take attention away from your core business activities. You can mitigate this some, however, through your due diligence prior to making a purchase and planning for these needs.
Lastly, if you decide that you are ready to make the leap into building ownership, be sure to talk to your lender about SBA loans and other financing options that may be appropriate for your situation.
