I have been approached to take over the lease on a Seafood outlet in town that the tenant has had to walk away from due to ill health. He has left all the equipment behind, which the Landlord has taken possession off, and he [the Landlord] wants us to complete the remainder of the lease. There is no entry fee, he will maintain the equipment as far as repairs go but he will not give a new lease at this stage after the present lease expires in 18 months time. The reason being is that he has had a $10 million offer for the complex, but if the sale falls through he will consider a new 5 + 5 lease.
I haven't been able to get any figures except for the rent @ $3,000 a month [not bad] and $385 a year for water. I have also found out that an 8 tonne Xmas prawn [shrimp] order has been placed , so this is quiet a busy outlet.
It's a pretty good offer but it will be almost impossible to get staff and I don't know what happened to those who worked there. I also do not really want to go back to working long-long hours again, perhaps try and find a manager? It's hard to decide without figures. No doubt a good option for a younger person.
