Does anyone here own a business?

Gym,matchmaking promoting buisness,and oddly enough, I restore Carbide Lamps

Do you rent the facility or are you buying it?

In my case own,lock stock and barrell,depending on what your trying to set up,if you have the funds to buy,your just better off. Im looking at buying a larger facility,but Im also looking at buying a new break down ring,so there's only so much money in the kitty.
Honestly,having a landlord is a ball pain,not only do complaints not get redressed quickly,as far as heat water leaks etc,you allways have to worry at the end of your lease that maybe your landlord doesnt want that type of buissness in his building any more and you find yourself scrambling to find a new roof over your head in a hurry.
If you can buy,buy

How did you initially capitalize your business?
