What is a Business with Real Estate?

A business with real estate refers to a company that owns and operates from a property included in the sale. Examples include restaurants, hotels, dépanneurs (convenience stores), manufacturing facilities, or multi-use spaces where the land and building are critical to the business’s operations. These transactions combine selling the business assets with transferring ownership of the real estate, making them unique and more complex.

The Pros of Buying or Selling a Business with Real Estate

Ownership Stability
Buyers gain stability and control by owning the property where the business operates, avoiding leasing uncertainties.
Increased Value
Including real estate in a business sale often increases its value, offering sellers a higher return on their investment.
Asset Diversification
Buyers benefit from owning a tangible asset (real estate) along with an operational business.
Tax Advantages
Real estate ownership can provide tax benefits through deductions like depreciation and property-related expenses.
Future Potential
Real estate often appreciates over time, adding a long-term investment benefit for buyers.

The Challenges of Buying or Selling a Business with Real Estate

Complex Valuation
Determining the value of both the business and its real estate requires specialized expertise and thorough analysis.
Financing Hurdles
Securing financing for a combined business and real estate purchase can be more complex than for one asset alone.
Zoning and Regulations
Buyers must ensure the property complies with zoning laws and permits align with the business’s operations.
Market Conditions
The success of the transaction can be influenced by fluctuations in the real estate market and business trends.
Legal Considerations
Contracts must address both the business and the real estate, requiring careful legal review and precision.
