Work through the decision
Build a lease scenario and an ownership scenario over the same period. Include improvements, moving, recurring costs and eventual exit costs. For ownership, separate loan principal from expenses and test a scenario with no appreciation. A lender can provide actual financing terms.
Questions to bring to the conversation
- How much cash must remain available for the business?
- Could growth make the building unsuitable?
- Who will handle property maintenance?
