Every rent payment builds equity for someone else.
Lease escalations complicate long-range planning, and a landlord may sell or decline to renew at an inopportune time. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 and 7(a) programs make ownership attainable for many businesses, often with as little as 10% down for owner-occupied property.
