Buying and renting an office are alternatives with different commitments. Compare both against the same operating period and space requirement.
Model ownership
Include acquisition expenses, recurring charges, maintenance, finance where relevant and a possible selling period. Consider how the premises would serve a larger or smaller team.
Model renting
Review total occupancy costs, works, renewal and exit obligations. Compare flexibility as well as expenditure. The more suitable route depends on the business's actual circumstances; neither ownership nor leasing is automatically superior.
