For me this comment hits the nail on the head... You either offer to pay all/half of the year's rent in one go (and ask for a discount for the privilege) because you have it now and u prob don't expect to have cash flow during that time ..or you actually can't afford a year's lease on current savings, in which case it's unlikely you can afford the place assuming no real cash flow during the first year of a start up.
