Commercial comparison

Compare two commercial sites before signing

Compare two possible sites using rent, revenue, costs, business type, postcode, opening cash and lease assumptions. YieldLens gives a first-pass comparison to help you see which site has stronger pressure points and what evidence still needs checking.

No account required. This is a first-pass comparison only.

What it compares

  • Rent burden and monthly cost pressure
  • Opening cash after setup
  • Break-even pressure and downside risk
  • Evidence gaps and lease questions
  • Location checks to verify before relying on the result

Compare two sites

Enter one version of the commercial check for Site A and Site B.

Keep the inputs compact. Address or postcode helps with local prompts, but the page still works if you only know the rough location.

Site A

The first site or option you want to compare.

Site identity

Use Site A, High Street unit, or any other short label.

Use the best available estimates for rent, revenue, costs, fit-out, and opening cash.

Use the property address or postcode so YieldLens can organise local checks such as business rates, comparable rent evidence, and building-condition assumptions.

Trading assumptions

Exclude rent here. Include staff, stock, utilities, or other recurring operating costs.

Leave blank if you do not know it yet.

Use a current estimate if you have one.
