I want to mortgage my lease to allow me to have further capital to reinvest and energise the business. Is this allowed?

- Depending on the laws in your state or territory you may be able to mortgage your lease unless your lease agreement expressly prevents you from doing so.
- Lease agreements will usually require that you ask your landlord for permission.
