Not sure what to do with recent business move
I'm a sole owner operation of a CNC machine shop. I'm suppose to be moving into a new warehouse as of April 1st. The warehouse was originally suppose to be finished last summer.

I received a lease but its not signed yet (just got it back from my lawyer to review it). As part of my lease I have one month fixturing and one month free rent on the 5 year lease.

I'm really not sure what to do here. My business could either really slow down, or really pick up. Since I have no employees I could still be coming to work (even in a lockdown as I am considered essential service due to the industries I supply).

My issue is with the move date. My plan was original to spend most of April getting the new warehouse ready, then move my machines/etc all late April/Early May sometime. But that really depends on trades etc and their availability to get my warehouse ready to move my machines over.

Part of me feels like I should just take it on the date, if things slow down then I can just do most of the 'trades' work myself. As it is I'm holding off putting the offices in (only need 2) as they are not a requirement, and I'd rather keep cash on hand.

I called last week and spoke to the broker, but he's kinda acting like no big deal and that everyone is still busy. Kinda feel like he just wants to get a signed lease rather than thinking about whats really at stake here.

Just wanted to get a bit a of feel of what others think and maybe what options I might be able to ask for? TIA!

Hense waiting since last summer for a unit. But I do like your idea of 1yr lease. We've been in business for 20 years, so i'm not too worried about not being here in a year. I'm just not sure if I should be waiting another month to move or not. I've given my 6 months notice in my current location, (however my neighbour is planning on taking over this unit as soon as I move out, so i'm a little flexible).   \nOne reason to get the move over with, is right now my commute is just over a hour, and the new place will be 2 minutes. With my sons daycare closed as well, wife and I will have to work on split shifts, and saving 2 hours a day commuting will be nice. \n\nUgh, the timing.", "replies": [{"id": "fl2crru", "text": "Yes, use this all to YOUR advantage. The broker and owner are looking out for their own interest, who is looking out for yours? The broker is busy trying to keep deals alive, which most will die right now.\n\n1 year, with a 5 year option sounds very reasonable in this environment.

I'm residential new construction and full rehabs, kind of hard to hide and I need city inspections, etc. so again, not really doable for me to keep going. If you can offer work when everyone else is out of work, that's not a bad spot to be in.
