Value the two assets separately
Business earnings and real estate income use different valuation methods. Avoid combining them into one unsupported price.
Put market rent into the earnings
Below market rent can overstate business profit. Model a lease a buyer and lender can accept before using adjusted earnings to discuss value.
Consider your obligations as landlord
Review repairs, insurance, guarantees and renewal terms with counsel. Keeping the property creates an ongoing investment and responsibilities after the business sale.
