Buy or Lease? The Decision That Shapes Your Business
We help you evaluate the tradeoffs-and structure agreements that preserve value and reduce risk.
Picture this. You are eyeing a 100,000 dollar piece of equipment that will be worth zero in five years, or you are buying a business that sits on valuable real estate. Do you buy or lease? Do you purchase both the business and the property, or buy the business and lease the location while you plan a move?
These are high impact decisions. The contracts that follow are even more important. At Costaras Law, we help clients evaluate buy vs lease decisions and then build strong, practical agreements that protect value and cash flow.
What We Help You Buy or Lease
Asset Purchases and Leasing Agreements Cover Far More Than Buildings
If an asset has value, there will be an exchange. As that value grows, so does the need for a robust asset purchase agreement or commercial lease agreement that anticipates risk.
We Routinely Handle:
Commercial real estate
Equipment and machinery
Intellectual property and royalties
Business assets in mergers and acquisitions
Lease Structures That Create Predictable Cash Flow
Turn Leases Into Reliable Income With Contracts Built for Stability and Performance
For landlords and investors, the right lease structure can turn real estate into mailbox money. We regularly craft:
- Triple net leases where the tenant pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance
- Absolute net structures that push nearly all obligations to the tenant
- Long term commercial leases with rent escalations and strong tenant covenants
For tenants, we negotiate clarity on what is included, what is not, and how operating expenses, improvements, and repairs are handled so there are no surprises.
Why Our Contracts Are Thorough
Built With Foresight, Precision, and a Focus on Enforceability
Could a lease be a handshake or a half page? Technically, yes. The problem is real life. In two and a half centuries of American commerce, rare problems have happened often enough that we plan for them. The result is a thoughtful agreement, often 10 to 15 pages, that may feel longer than you expected but shields you from events that can be catastrophic if ignored.
Typical protections we tailor include:
- Rent, security deposit, term, options to renew, and purchase options
- Maintenance and repair obligations, including roofs, structure, and systems
- Taxes, insurance, indemnity, and limits of liability
- Casualty and condemnation
- Assignments, subleases, and change of control in M&A
- Tenant improvements, build out, and delivery conditions
- Defaults and remedies, cure periods, and early termination rights
- Estoppels, SNDAs, and lender requirements
- Environmental and compliance provisions
We meet clients where they are. Whether you are new to commercial leasing or a sophisticated investor negotiating a 25 year NNN lease with a stable tenant, we make sure the paper matches your strategy.
