Commercial Property Hunting - Day In the Life of a Business Owner

[@just6875]

Lord Sugar is getting older, James Sinclair next in line to take over the Apprentice? :) would love to see it one day

[@readmycomment3157]

I love seeing the economics behind commercial property and seeing how that interacts with the businesses.

[@readmycomment3157]

Youre spot on about thr planning system, its totally broken and not fit for purpose. Weve got huge companies hoarding land, huge estates of poorly built ugly new builds and huge swathes of unused brownfield sites and unused buildings people aren't able to do anything useful with because of planning. The whole system needs an overhaul and a rethink.

[@guneytepe3]

I agree with you 100% mate I’ve got land in north London since 2018 I’ve been dealing with the council for flats it’s a rundown pub closed for 8 years before I bought it eye sore I’m trying to reinvest into my area as I live and work locally instead of open arms and embracing us every block is put in front of us to make it harder

[@Tunsgate123]

We feel your pain. My current house needs replacement and the planning has been 18 months because it could be a harm on the greenbelt. Even though it’s in a private road with 75 houses

[@cyclingtothemoon2539]

Great video. I liked that you covered a number of topics. Thanks for sharing.

[@JackLauricourt]

Congrats on the charity fund raiser. Looked amazing and I saw from the previous videos/Instagram stories the work you and the team put into it. You should get into printing your own signs with the amount you make… Keep it up! 🙌🏼

[@christophergroome3]

superb video as always - would love to see your "honest" comments on the most recent budget proposed changes to childcare -

[@johnnyj8602]

Great vid James! Love to see all the investment you do here in the UK

[@reecedalsania96]

Love this video Jimbo

[@abdullahk8691]

Top videos by real series investor/businessman!

[@lauram2456]

Amazing guy! I wish I can have this knowledge one day and also keeping jn mind that giving back gives much more satisfaction on the long run…🎉

[@anillchandi]

Brilliant video!

[@mikefleming1668]

Hi James - love your content. You touch upon the "holiday lets being better for inheritance tax", I'd love to know more about that point. I thought the gov changed the small print so holiday lets now fall within the inheritance estate? Would love to get your view. Manythanks.

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

If it’s a trading biz, and you can prove it’s trade with evidence ; I have been advised of this being the case. I would always get a 2nd opinion from 2 professionals ( accountants) if you’re not sure. That’s what I do. Please note. I am not giving tax advise; you should seek professional advice from your own professionals.

[@oludayosanya]

I couldnt find the link the property seminar you mentioned… Do you still run these?

[@bartoni79]

You mention dilapidation costs that the builders merchant had to pay? Is this a costly exercise for the landlord to get these costs off tenants? It seems odd that the merchant made so many changes and appeared to increase the value of the unit whilst having to to pay quite high dilapidation costs. Is this common?

[@gibbson130]

Yes common. Commercial leases are completely one sided against the tenant. Normally fully repairing and any modifications have to be removed at the end even if you've improved the building. Hence just paying the landlord off at thee end and he wins twice.

[@BusinessCoachingEvents]

I think I know that agents voice, even with his face blanked out 😂 hope you found a suitable rental space. A lot of agents are not open to creative ways of buying, it’s either lease or buy now, that’s what I found

[@justinmirche]

I learned so much from this!

[@maril8501]

Very interesting!!!

[@JohnBailey-gs2zt]

Really wish you did your own printing I think it could change the game for partyman!!

[@wahahaha2017]

is there any premium paid for the lease option?

[@gibbson130]

Maybe a stupid question James but why don't you go more into commercial property? Seems like money for old rope and lower stress.

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

I often think about it, sell up buy loads of property but I’d loose my purpose and my team. I’d be bored.

[@bartoni79]

Hi James, I see you’re doing a commercial property workshop. Is this of use to someone who doesn’t own a business? I am only employed but would like to find out more…

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

It won’t be just commercial- it’ll be all property. If you’re interested in property this is the seminar to go to. My other seminars are certainly more aligned to those in business and wanting to grow.

[@James-mz2ew]

Thoughts on investing in property on the channel islands like the isle of man. Airbnb would make a killing especially on the iom 👍

[@khalidwa1]

I’ve been waiting two years on a pet food manufacturing license just so I can export due to Brexit. The relevant department are “looking into it”. Seems like we’re all in the same boat with the Government.

HI MS YOU ARE BUY ing Aspprins?

OR IS IT A FRUNT FOR YOUR EGEY BISS AND A LOSS LEDDER?

[@alankeane4059]

You own all that land at the business park that you have planning for 20 units. Can't you do something there ?

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

Not big enough and in the right location for this.

Printed in-house. Oh you do your own printing? 😂

[@richardclowes7428]

It's Council's, I swear they wouldn't last a day in a commerical environment..they're all process driven not results driven..that's the difference.

[@HaHa-bc4zr]

James won't the speculative capital appreciation you speak of be nul and void as you will have paid 85k a year rent for the 2 years?

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

Not really, because I would use the site for my business which would have benefited from the space and traded in to profit. Obviously if you bought it and naff all then yes.

[@MrTj145]

What were they charging £25k for James

[@marklewis3023]

That's a management fee, to handle all the bookings & guests.

[@tomatobrush3283]

9 months for change of use, they are shocking.

[@kennethbarr6842]

DUDE THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT DUDE?

[@Lee-jz8vp]

Usually enjoy the videos but no this one felt like an advert and PR job for your businesses. Also, a bit of (not so) subtle prressure put on the planning department when you mention that the delay is costing jobs. All felt a bit cynical. Hopefully the next video returns to previous video quality and less agenda based.

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

I’m really sorry you felt like that. Usually our day in the life videos get the big wins from our subscribers. I’ll absolutely reflect on your feedback.

[@kennethbarr6842]

DUDE I REST MY CASE?

[@robdavy4468]

James's video person needs to buy him some quieter clothes if he's going to keep using lav mics... ;-) And take away that clicky-pen (?) lol

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

We do need to get better at that. We will buy some big wind breakers; trouble is we don’t want someone running around with a stick mic!

[@Gadas1]

The free childcare policies must be great for you in the next few years.

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

I’m not so sure, I think it’ll mean lots of nurseries go under. They underfund the settings, devil in the detail.

[@xtc2v]

If you are so keen on growing the British economy why don't you manufacture here?

[@TheWhiff12]

Does in house printing count as UK manufacturing?

[@alankeane4059]

To expensive no one's going to pay 50 quid for a teddy made in Basindon

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

I wish we could, but our zoos, holiday parks and attractions wouldn’t pay UK prices on this business. We manufacture loads of stuff in the UK. Play equipment, ice cream, cakes, signage etc etc

[@xtc2v]

@@TheWhiff12 Not really because only exporting can save Britain from its continued financial decline. Anything else is like trying to pull yourself up by pulling on your own boot laces

[@luckeone22]

Sialkot, Pakistan best for manufacturing

[@Real_Matt]

James, just a little tip. You're a serious businessman and your thumbnails are in the same vein as Mr Beast whose content is aimed at 8-12 year-olds. Be a bit more serious bud.

[@imnotube]

What nonsense

[@mattmurdoch1655]

I actually completely agree with this point. Does seem a bit juvenile.

[@Airportnomad]

Agree james your content is more valuable than the thumbnail gives the impression of

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

Made you look though didn’t it? Made you comment too? Maybe it worked. Our thumbnails get ridiculously good click throughs - as does Mr Beasts, I literally love his thumbnails and getting compared to him is a massive KZbin win. Marketing is all about headlines and yes we use headlines and facial expressions to get the click, if we don’t we don’t get the results. When ever we do serious, boring click throughs the videos get no where near as many clicks. The data doesn’t lie.

[@Real_Matt]

@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur God what a weird response. Yes it made me comment because I thought how weird it looked for someone of your age to be doing that.
