Types of Property Lease Depend on Use

It is common for businesses to lease the property where they are located. This arrangement allows a business to be at a specific address for a set period of time, usually a 12 month period. The terms of the agreement may be changed at the end of that time if the landlord and business decide they wish to continue working with each other.

Some businesses are finding it beneficial to sell the property they own to someone else and then lease from the entity that bought it. This is called a sale leaseback and is used by companies all over the United States. Agencies that specialize in this type of real estate transaction are in touch with businesses and investors who purchase these properties.

This type of transaction can be useful to many different business owners. A case in point would be a business in which the owner knows that they are going to sell the business in a few years to retire. By selling the property that the business sits on and leasing it, the owner frees up cash that he or she can use to invest elsewhere with an eye toward retiring. This might be to purchase a retirement home in another area or to have a nest egg with an eye to starting another business somewhere else. Or the owner may want to use the money to invest in retirement funds to provide an income once he or she does retire. Another advantage would be that this move could potentially make the property more attractive to the buyer as they would not have to come up with as much cash to purchase it. They would only have to have the money for the business itself and not the real estate.

Businesses that are undergoing some sort of financial stress may want to do this to obtain cash. These transactions can turn long term liquid assets into cash. A lease does not show as a liability as a mortgage does which enhances the balance sheet for the business. Money obtained from the sale can help pay down debt. By showing as an increase in liquid assets and a reduction in debt, the net result can show the business in a better light and possibly improve its stock value and credit status. There is the added advantage that when a business owns the building, they can only deduct a portion of the mortgage payment. The lease payment can be deducted in full.

Leasing also makes sense from the standpoint that it can create better conditions in terms of maintenance and repairs. These leases can be set up so that the business owner retains full control over the operation of the space it occupies. Having someone else own the building can also free up funds and time for the business owner, as he or she no longer has to worry about maintenance. For many business using a lease after selling makes perfect sense.
