Should you buy or lease your commercial space?

One of the trickier decisions many entrepreneurs face is choosing between buying or leasing their place of business.

THERE ARE ADVANTAGES and disadvantages to both options, and the decision requires lots of analysis and planning. Here are some things to consider with each option. Weigh them effectively to help make the best decision for the best business advantage.

12

When should you buy?

• If location is important to you A great location is hard to find. If you can find one that helps you grow sales through foot traffic and ease of transportation, reduces costs through proximity to key suppliers, and/or attracts and retains

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

employees, you may want to secure that space by purchasing it.

• If you want to build your personal wealth Commercial real estate has been a great investment for many entrepreneurs in recent years. While there are no guarantees, owning can build wealth separate from your operating company.

• If your current leasehold improvements are getting costly If you’re investing heavily in a building to run your business, it often makes sense to buy a property. If, however, December 14, 2024–January 11, 2025

the time isn’t yet right to buy, you may want to consider leasehold improvement loans to tide you over.

• If you want to be free of landlord woes If running every aspect of your business without potential limits, restrictions and rent increases is important to you, then you might want to buy a commercial space.

• If you need to free up working capital A well-financed property purchase can free up working capital by reducing your monthly outlay for rent. The difference can be used to build your business. “It’s about balancing growth with cash flow,” says Jean-Philippe Ménard, vice-president, North Shore at BDC. “We often finance those kinds of purchases because we want to make sure our clients will have enough working capital to grow.”

However...

If you decide to buy commercial real estate, be sure to pay close attention to the following: • Rising interest rates Low interest rates have encouraged many entrepreneurs to buy in recent years, and they have enjoyed considerable market appreciation. However, “there’s a wake-up call coming” for some entrepreneurs in the form of rising interest rates, says Ménard, who works in BDC’s office in Laval, Quebec. He notes that many younger businesspeople have never experienced the rising costs that come with higher rates.

• Cash flow and stability Before you buy, make sure your company will have the resources to support this commitment in the years to come.

Buying a building is a long-term investment.

• Protection and due diligence Be sure to protect yourself from problems that can come with ownership, such as hidden building defects or environmental contamination. Get a building condition inspection (BCA) and December 14, 2024–January 11, 2025

an environmental assessment (ESA), or hire a qualified environmental consulting firm to assess the property before you purchase. Before buying, it’s equally important to get a lawyer to perform thorough due diligence on such issues as land title, zoning, outstanding taxes, liens, easements and other potential problems with the property.

• When should you lease? Here’s where it may make more sense to rent a space for your business.

• If you don’t have enough working capital Start-ups are often unable to commit a lot of capital to a building, so they will most likely opt to lease.

Even if you have an established business, it may not be generating enough cash at this stage to allow you to fund both your growth and your commercial property acquisition.

• If your business needs are unstable If your company is growing rapidly or downsizing, or you’re just not sure what’s going to happen, you might be better off renting until the situation stabilizes.

• You don’t want the hassle of owning Owning a property comes with additional responsibility and potential problems. You may prefer to rent and focus on your business for the time being.

However...

If you decide to lease, be sure to pay close attention to the following: • Option to renew While some entrepreneurs may not want to make a long-term commitment to a location, Ménard cautions that flexibility can work both ways. A landlord can refuse to renew a lease once it expires. That forces your business to relocate, with all the costs associated with doing so.

• Renovations and improvements Be sure to find out about restrictions that could limit your ability to expand or use the space in different ways.

Specifically, find out whether there are any limitations on making

A well-financed property purchase can free up working capital by reducing your monthly outlay for rent. changes to your space. Do you have to return the property to its original condition when you leave? Do added equipment and fixtures remain your property, or do they become the property of the owner?

• Parking Are there enough parking spaces for all tenants and their visitors? Are you guaranteed spaces?

• Signage What are your rights when it comes to signage?

• Landlord responsibilities It’s important to understand what your landlord does and doesn’t pay for before committing to a commercial lease. Specifically, pay close attention to the following: • Common area maintenance Who is responsible for cleaning, repairs and other costs associated with common areas, such as washrooms, entrances, general reception areas and the parking lot? Who pays for snow removal, grass cutting and/or landscaping?

• Operating expenses Who pays for property taxes, insurance, utilities, security, and the repair or replacement of equipment such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning units?

Final thoughts

In the end, whether you decide to buy or lease a commercial space, remember the following: • You’re not alone As part of your trusted team of real estate advisors, a lawyer specializing in commercial real estate should review your contract carefully with you to avoid any unpleasant surprises. CI

Get the right type of insurance for your business

Your business may have many assets: Vehicles, office space and equipment, inventory, an indispensable employee or partner and, most importantly, yourself. To protect these assets and to protect your business from potential risks, you should consider getting insurance.

All businesses take some risks, but taking too many risks or failing to protect yourself does not make good business sense. Could your 18

business survive if one of the partners dies or becomes disabled?

Would you have sufficient cash on hand to deal with any business

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

emergency that could arise? In many cases, the answers to these and other questions about risk is “no”.

Insurance needs vary greatly and it is best to get advice from an insurance broker or agent who is familiar with your specific type of business. The following are different types of insurance that may apply to your business.

Insurance for owners, partners and key employees The loss of a key person can devastate your business and your

December 14, 2024–January 11, 2025

livelihood. These types of insurance can help protect your business and your family from potential risks: • Life insurance — Protects your family in the event that something happens to you. This is especially important in the case of a sole proprietorship, because the owner is personally liable for all the debts of the business.

• Disability insurance — Will provide you with income for a specified period of time, if you are unable to work due to an injury or illness.

• Partnership insurance or buy-sell insurance — If your business partner passes away, partnership insurance will allow you to purchase the shares and continue running the business.

• Critical illness insurance — Provides you with a lump sum benefit, if you are diagnosed with a critical illness.

• Key person insurance — If you rely on certain key people to help run your business, protect yourself against the loss of these key employees.

Speak to your accountant to find out which of these are deductible as business expenses and which ones you will need to pay for yourself as an individual.

Insurance for business property and earnings

You need to protect your assets and earnings in the event that a disaster or emergency destroys part or all of your business premises and assets. This could include: • Property insurance — Property insurance will cover the property and buildings owned by your business in the event of destruction or damage due to things like fire and other perils.

• Contents insurance — This covers assets that you store at your business premises. If you are leasing space for your business, the owner of the property probably has property insurance, but you are likely responsible for your own December 14, 2024–January 11, 2025

contents insurance. If you run your business out of your home, you will likely need separate contents insurance for your business assets.

• Business interruption insurance — If you need to shut down your business temporarily due to a fire or other peril, business interruption insurance will cover your loss of earnings until you are back in business.

• Vehicle insurance — You will need to insure any vehicles that your business owns. If you use personal vehicles for business purposes, be sure to advise your insurance company.

Liability insurance

Mistakes happen. You, your employees, your equipment or your suppliers could be the cause of mistakes that ultimately end up hurting your customers, your employees or other people who are involved with your business. To protect your business from being sued, you should consider these types of insurance to limit your liability: • General liability — Covers injury to clients or employees on your premises • Product liability — Provides protection in the event that your products are defective or cause serious harm to those using them • Professional liability insurance — Provides protection if you are sued by a client for errors, omissions or negligence, when performing professional services • Cyber liability — Protects in the event of a lawsuit stemming from an electronic security breach involving compromised personal or commercial information. Can include situations relating to the theft of devices containing organizational, client, employee, or similar data.

Accounts receivable insurance

Having a client that does not pay can leave you in a difficult situation.

You need to protect your assets and earnings in the event that a disaster or emergency destroys part or all of your business premises and assets.

You have to pay your employees and suppliers, and are essentially stuck covering the costs of goods sold, without the corresponding revenue. Accounts receivable insurance, also known as credit insurance, can help protect you from this risk, when a client goes bankrupt or refuses to pay.

The risks are often greater when dealing with export markets. The government offers export insurance to cover a variety of risks including accounts receivable insurance.

Health insurance

Providing a health insurance plan for employees can be a key factor in recruitment and retention of employees. You can talk to an insurance broker or company about group plans covering supplemental health and dental benefits for your employees.

Get the right insurance for your business. Making sure you have the correct business insurance can provide peace of mind. To discuss your business insurance options, contact an insurance representative to find or develop a plan that is right for you and your business.

You may also wish to contact your local chamber of commerce or industry association, as some organizations offer members lower rates on their business insurance. CI Source: Canadabusiness.ca

Understanding your condo docs

BY JACQUELINE MONETA JD WITH ASSISTANCE FROM JAYSON SCHWARZ LLM

New disclosure requirements in the Condominium Act provide owners with more information than ever, but all of this information can quickly become overwhelming. What are all the documents and what do they tell you? The following is an overview of the rules and regulations governing condo living.

Condominium declaration

The declaration is like the constitution of a condo. It provides information regarding each suite’s boundaries and share of common expenses expressed as a percentage of the total budget.

The declaration also describes any recreational facilities and how they will be used. It can also contain restrictions on the use or occupation of the units and common elements. A review of the declaration will tell you exactly what you are buying.

A declaration can only be changed if more than 80 per cent of the owners agree to the change. This makes subsequent changes to the declaration difficult and rare.

By-laws

The by-laws control how condominium corporations are run. They outline the qualifications of condominium directors, their remuneration (if any), and the quorum necessary for a meeting. The by-laws may also outline when and how the condominium can borrow money. This is important if there is ever a special assessment levied. As an alternative to a special assessment the condo may be able to borrow funds, if allowed in the by-laws, rather than 22

makeup any shortfalls from the unit owners.

By-laws can be passed, appealed or amended by the board of directors.

Before becoming effective, by-laws must be approved by a majority of the units of the corporation and registered with the land registry office.

Condominium rules

The board of directors can also make, amend or repeal rules. The rules govern the safety, security or welfare of the owners and the property or assets of the corporation.

They typically prevent unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of the common elements or units.

It’s common for the rules to prevent owners from renting out their units for short periods of time (ie. Airbnb) or restrict visitors’ use of the common elements. It is also increasingly common for the rules to limit the number and/or size of pets allowed in the building.

Rules can vary greatly in each condominium, so even if you are familiar with condo living it’s important to review the rules in each building you buy into. They can impact lifestyle choices, which while not legal issues, should be considered carefully as they can

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

have a large impact on your day-today life.

Status certificate

Perhaps the most important document you’ll receive is the status certificate. This document gives buyers details of the financial and legal circumstances for the condominium building. A status certificate will include information regarding increases in common expenses, law suits against the condominium corporation and any upcoming large expenditures for repairs.

A status certificate will also have information about the individual condo unit. It indicates if the current owner is in default of paying common expenses and if any increase in common expenses has been declared by the condominium board.

While sifting through these documents may seem overwhelming, careful review of the rules and regulations governing your condo could save you a lot of time and unexpected cost down the road.

You should also seek the advice of a real estate lawyer and accountant who can point out abnormalities or possible red flags.

Don’t forget the best help you can get is from a real estate lawyer who understands condominium law. Be careful and find someone who is knowledgeable and cares about you and your family. This is an important milestone in your life.

Send or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the website (schwarzlaw. ca), email (info@schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions and concerns.

We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form. CI
