The Premise Effect
What Business Are You Really In?
Nadine's book examines the financial impact of business owners renting commercial premises versus owning them. Drawing on 16 years of commercial finance experience, the book includes case studies showing wealth gaps of $1.66 million or more between business owners who bought premises and those who continued to lease over equivalent periods.
The book covers the four-tier Australian commercial lending structure, complete state-by-state transaction costs, and practical calculations business owners can use to assess whether buying their premises is strategically sound.
