Uncertainty creates opportunity. And right now, there's no shortage of uncertainty; both for business in general and the commercial property market in particular. So it's hardly surprising that more enterprising companies are taking an even closer look at how they finance their occupational needs and the consequential impact on cash flow. After all, consuming too much and financing it incorrectly destroys value - simple as that. However, over the last 18 months commercial property values have dramatically fallen, so surely now is a great time to buy ... well it depends on a large number of factors. For some companies it can be a simple decision. Especially for start-ups and highly diverse firms that need the cash to invest in the business. Many firms that own a mixed asset portfolio including property are now under pressure to release cash. Conversely, those that are cash rich may see it as a great time to buy, gain control and potentially make a decent return on the asset at a later date. It is personal to each situation - how do you decide?
