Finding the right location for your practice can make or break its success. But how do you know if you should lease or buy your office space? Depending on your situation, leasing can usually give you the most options–but it also isn’t for everyone. If you are new to practice or are just looking to change your current location, consider the following leasing pros and cons to help you make your decision.

Many medical tenants prefer to do their own janitorial work. If biomedical tenants do their own janitorial work, then, from the tenant’s perspective, the general janitorial expenses for the building should be backed out of the CAM Charges passed on to the biomedical tenant. Medical tenants use hazardous materials and generate biomedical waste. Medical tenants can use X-ray machines, CT scans, and other machines which may generate harmful radiation. To preserve the integrity of these machines, medical tenants also have specialized needs to avoid interference with these machines.

Medical uses usually violate the boilerplate use provisions in most retail and office leases. In addition to modifying the use provisions, landlords and tenants should consider the representations and warranties within the lease, together with the hours of operation. Patients are more likely than the general public to have special access needs. Buildings containing health care providers are more likely to receive ADA scrutiny.

Medical receivables factoring (or medical factoring for short) is a financing tool that allows you to turn slow paying invoices into actual cash, by selling them to a medical factoring company. The medical factoring company pays you for them and waits to be paid by the insurance companies. It eliminates the slow payment cycle, reducing the payment time from 90 days to two days. This provides the medical office with the necessary funds to meet expenses, such as paying rent and staff. It also frees up capital to grow the business into new areas.

Generally, commercial leases the landlord the right to reenter a premises to show the premises to future tenants, inspect for compliance with the lease, allow the landlord access to make infrastructure repairs in the lease premises and elsewhere in the building.

The property manager or landlord can limit expansion and modifications. If this may be an issue for you down the road, work out a solution during the initial negotiations before signing a contract. You may end up paying the monthly rent for empty excess space.

Medical office factoring has some advantages over other financial products. The most important is that the financing is recurring and happens every time you invoice an insurance company. This makes it a cash on demand product. As opposed to loans and lines of credit, the factoring line has flexible limits. As a matter of fact, the limits are based on your ability to invoice, making it an ideal growth tool. Lastly, doctor office factoring is easy to qualify for and the personal credit of the practice owners is usually not involved in the financing decision.
