Purchasing small shop space?
In today’s economy and business world, where small companies are gaining in market share, it is rare to find many of those companies purchasing commercial property or industrial space. The down payment for the mortgage is usually beyond the realm of possibility for those with tight budgets and limited working capital. That in no way is a negative statement against purchasing; we are simply stating that the owners of small companies usually cannot afford to purchase the physical property, which leads them to leasing small shop space.
Renting a small shop for rent?
The cost of leasing a small shop space will depend upon your needs. Generally speaking, the larger the shop, the larger the monthly lease payment. In Fort Worth, the city we are most familiar with, that lease payment can be as low as $1000 per month and as high as $5000 or more per month.
We know of properties like those found at Box Office Warehouse Suites, located in the Fort Worth Design District in North Forth Worth, which can be had for approximately $1000 per month. However, those are not the norm, and we feel confident in saying that most shops for rent will run you closer to $2000 per month . . . plus utilities and other overhead expenses.
Still too expensive for your budget? We have a suggestion, which follows in the next section of this article.
