My $6,000 increase in annual expenses for our PEO will be offset by our $6,000 reduction in rent for our new office lease! The whippersnapper broker, whose real estate brokering and negotiating skills I was beginning to seriously doubt, came through today. While I don't have a contract in hand, if things turn out the way the broker says, the landlords of our new space agreed to dropping the rental rate by $1 per square foot per year, plus they confirmed that two spaces we thought were not in the quote were, indeed, included. So, I'm feeling happy. My financial ruin has been delayed, if only by a little.
