In short

Owners near Chillicothe, OH use the same phone line and short request as owners in the city. This page prices two rents overlapping during a move and a lease deposit paid two ways, then gives ZIP employer counts for Circleville, Waverly, Greenfield, Piketon, Bainbridge, Stoutsville, Laurelville, Kingston, Frankfort and Beaver.

Two rents in the same month: the overlap cost of a Ross County, OH hardware store's move to a larger space

A hardware store moving to larger retail space can carry two rents at once: the old lease runs to its end date while the new one starts when the keys change hands. Each month of overlap puts the old rent on top of the new one, so the number of overlap months sets the cost.

Illustration only, invented figures: the old space rents for $2,650 a month and the new one for $3,980. With a two-month overlap, invented rent runs $6,630 a month for those two months, and the old space alone accounts for $5,300 of it.

A short working capital loan or a business line of credit can carry an overlap like this while sales settle in the new space.

Which costs leave a Chillicothe, OH hardware store's account in the months around a move, and when

  • Signing day: the deposit and the first month's rent, $11,940 in the invented case below
  • Overlap months: both rents, $6,630 a month in the invented case above
  • Moving month: moving the gondolas, racks and the key machine; any wall, wiring or sign work is property work, which sits outside this site
  • After the move: restocking shelves for the larger floor while the old lease's last rent is still due
  • Old lease end: any refund of the old deposit comes back, cash that can pay down a short loan

On the invented figures, the deposit and the two overlap months put $21,220 of rent and deposit through the account before the restock: $7,960 of deposit, $7,960 of new rent and $5,300 of old rent. The Chillicothe, OH page prices the same kinds of costs for a second store, where neither lease ends.

A two-month deposit plus the first rent at a Ross County, OH hardware store, paid from the account or spread over a year

Illustration only, invented figures: the hardware store's new lease at $3,980 a month asks for a two-month deposit of $7,960 plus the first month, so $11,940 is due at signing.

Paid with a working capital loan at a 13.05% annual rate over 12 months, that becomes an invented $1,066.73 a month, or $12,800.76 across the year, $860.76 of it interest. Paid from the bank account, it costs no interest, but the whole invented $11,940 leaves the account on the day the lease is signed, in the same weeks the move itself costs money.

When equipment payments outlast a shorter lease term in Ross County, OH

A shorter lease changes the arithmetic of anything financed for the space. In an invented case, the new lease runs 24 months and a freestanding rack set goes on a 36-month equipment schedule: 12 of the 36 payments fall after the lease ends, wherever the store is by then.

Fixtures attached to the building stay with it and are property work outside this site, while freestanding racks, a key-cutting machine and a security camera kit leave with the store when the term ends. Financing a movable item over a term longer than the lease means the payments continue after a move, and the item moves too.
