Should You Own or Rent Your Garage?

October 16, 2024 By Nadeem

The Hog Ring - Should You Own or Rent Your Garage?

Is it better to buy, rent or renegotiate the lease on your shop space? At some point, every business owner will need to decide.

Fortunately, The Shop tackled this issue in a recent article that guides readers through all the important factors to consider. Here’s an excerpt:

Market conditions can change rapidly, and a well-informed shop owner or manager should continually strive to ensure they’re getting the best deal possible. That means weighing the various options available such as:

    • Does the operation have the funds — or access to the financing — that would be needed to purchase?
    • Does leasing make sense — or leasing with an option to purchase that would postpone the available funding question?
    • If already leasing property that meets the needs of the business, would renegotiating the existing lease ease the financial burden or provide additional benefits?

Read the full article “Shop Space: Buy, Lease or Renew?” on The Shop. It includes loads of helpful tips and advice every trimmer should consider, whether a rookie or veteran.
