If you are a warehouse tenant or owner in Canada, you may be debating between signing a short-term lease through a 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) provider or opting for a longer-term commitment. While both options have their advantages and disadvantages, a long-term lease agreement is often the better option in the long run for the following reasons.
Stability & Peace of Mind
Long-term leases offer businesses stability that short-term leases cannot match. Locking into an extended contract guarantees a designated space at a fixed fee, ultimately providing peace of mind for business owners who value consistency.
While it may seem daunting at first glance to commit to multiple years in one location, long-term leasing contracts help mitigate otherwise frequent rent increases that come with annual renewals - thus saving tens of thousands if not more each year.
Extra Control Over Warehousing Space
With a long-term lease, tenants have more flexibility and freedom to alter the layout and implement improvements that can enhance the operations within the facility without requiring extra fees or a new 3PL warehousing partner.
As a business owner, it’s always important to be aware of your options. In most cases, a long-term lease agreement can deliver better long-term value and improve your overall logistics operations.
