Many buyers as well as lenders proceed with more confidence if all of the assets of a business are included in the sale. In some cases, separating the real estate from the sale can help broaden the pool of potential buyers, which means that a lease agreement needs to be negotiated. Having said that, some buyers will pass on the opportunity if the real estate is not incuded in the sale. A broker can help you explore those options.
