Most Businesses Lease Too Much Space—and Pay for It for Years

When a business plans for growth, it often builds that growth into the space.

More square footage. More buildout. More cost.

But growth rarely happens on schedule.

What’s left is:

• Underutilized space

• Higher fixed costs

• Reduced flexibility

Space decisions lock in assumptions about the future.

If those assumptions are off, the cost isn’t just financial—it limits how the business can adapt.
