The lease can break the deal faster than bad numbers

Do yourself a favor. Loop in the landlord early.
Especially when the business depends on its location.
Deals fall apart when landlords refuse to extend the lease or use the sale as a chance to raise the rent.
That increase squeezes EBITDA, lowers enterprise value, and can kill the deal.
A great business with a bad lease is no longer a great business.
Do not wait until diligence. Call the landlord early.
