Business Loans Around Ashland, OH in Nearby Villages and Willard, OH: Leases and the Costs of a Move

Commercial real estate in Ashland, OH, whether a building to buy or space to lease, is a property question, and Oceanreach Capital Group arranges no property purchases or building loans. Taking the space still costs money that belongs to the business rather than the building, and that part can go into a request.

For an insurance agency, that can mean computers and phones for a satellite office; for a manufacturer, the racks and machines that go into a leased bay.

Illustration only, invented figures: an Ashland County, OH parts maker leases a second building for grinding and cutting work. The equipment list is a used surface grinder at $27,900, a band saw at $8,600 and heavy shelving at $5,200, $41,700 in all.

In the same invented example, the parts maker's monthly bill for that list, at an annual rate of 11.05% for four years, would be $1,078.77. When the grinder, saw and shelving are paid off, the shop will have sent $51,780.96, with $10,080.96 going to interest. Bringing power to the grinder in the new building is property work outside this site, so the quote for that work stays out of the request.

Before signing the lease itself, it helps to know when the first rent is due and when the machines arrive, since a gap between the two is a cost too. A partner may ask for the lease, the equipment quotes and recent bank statements.

A renewal is a natural point to replace a worn dish machine, an ice machine and a reach-in freezer. Illustration only, invented figures: an Ashland County, OH sit-down restaurant renews its lease for 36 months and prices that equipment at $26,400, at an annual rate of 11.35%.

Moving to 60 months trims $290.06 from each payment while the interest bill grows by $3,444.72. It also runs 24 months past the end of the renewed lease, so the payments would continue even if the restaurant moved or closed at the end of the term. A loan that ends with the lease is one way to keep the two in step.

A tenant moving a restaurant to a new space in Ashland, OH has a long cost list. Sorting it before a funding request saves a second call:

• in scope: replacing a range and fryer line, a reach-in cooler or a dish machine that will not survive the move
• in scope: a point-of-sale system and a freestanding sign, without its footing or wiring
• in scope: wages for staff during the days the restaurant is closed for the move
• outside this site: hood systems, gas and water hookups, grease interceptors, a sign footing and any wiring or remodel
• outside this site: buying the new building

Connecting a range or a dish machine at the new address is property work, so the request can cover the appliance and leave the hookup to the landlord or the contractor the tenant hires.
