Here are some things to think about when looking for just the right space:

 

 

Finances and Other Things to Consider

 

Purchasing a property is more than just finding financing and paying the purchase price of the building. As the owner of the property you will be responsible for mortgage payments and property taxes as well as repairs, renovations and tenant concerns if you have any. You also want to make sure the space you purchase is properly zoned for your type of business.

 

Another great thing to do is look into your capability to continue mortgage payments over the long haul. What happens if business is a bit slow? Will you still have plenty of money to pay the mortgage and keep the lights on to keep conducting business until it picks up again? Review your business plan and projections to see if you have a good customer base and planned growth to afford the purchase. If you decide that purchasing is definitely the next step to take in the growth for your business you will want to start searching for that space that is just right.
