A definition of a warehouse for rent.

A warehouse is a place where products or materials can get stored before they move to another location. It’s a crucial element to your supply chain management. And some types of warehouses get used and designed for different reasons.  They can either be purchased outright or rented on a year-to-year basis.

The pros and cons of leasing a warehouse.

Pros of leasing:

  • Flexibility
  • Maintenance included in the lease agreement (not responsible for the cost of repairs)
  • Growth potential (if business is doing well, easily able to move into another space once lease is up)

Cons of leasing:

  • Lack of stability (if lease isn’t renewed or owner sells, your business is forced to move)
  • Landlord can increase price of lease before renewal
  • Limitations around the space and what your business can do with it to make it functional for your supply chain operations

Before you rent or buy.

Buying vs. renting warehouse space. It’s the age-old debate, right behind the chicken and the egg. For many business owners, this decision is a tough one, based on your particular company’s unique needs and resources. In this blog, we will discuss the pros and cons of both renting and buying warehouse space and give critical insight into why the decision is based on your business’s individual needs.

To evaluate what is the best option for your business regarding an office warehouse for rent, owners need to think about the following:

  • Will the space fit your long-term business needs?
    • Considering the variety of locations available for warehouses can help in making this decision.
  • Do you plan on expanding?
    • If so, understanding transloading and how it can benefit your operations might be crucial.
  • Do you have the financial capital to invest in real estate?
  • Will smaller upfront costs give your business more capital to invest back into the operation?
    • This is where understanding the different varieties of warehouses can be beneficial.

Bottom line: Don’t rush into this decision of buying vs renting. The time you spend crossing all of your T’s and dotting all of your I’s researching these options will pay back dividends later on and could very well affect the future of your company.
