Preparing to buy a Commercial Real Estate
Purchasing a business or commercial property can be complex and daunting, especially if it is your first business venture. Below are some key questions to ask when buying a business or property.
What am I looking for?
How much is it worth?
How does the process work?
How do leasehold, freehold going concern and freehold investment yields or multipliers work or differ – the calculation to value or capitalise the net income or net surplus before owner / managers salaries to arrive at the value of the business or property?
Has the "Add Back" calculation been applied to the financial accounts to achieve the notional bottom line prior to applying the correct current market multiplier for the business or property – this changes depending on location, length of lease, condition of property, timing of next rent review etc?
How long has the lease term got to go, how long before the next rent review, is there rights of renewal on the lease, is there variations to the original lease?
