Well, if the lease hold improvements are not the building, there would be no requirement on the bank to perform a FHD from a regulatory standpoint as you do not have an interest in improved real property or the structure. From and safety and soundness factor, if without the leased facility, the business could not be a going concern (i.e. specialized building, operations not relocatable, etc.) then flood insurance might be wise. However, the owner of the building would have to get the policy and not the borrower. SBA requirements are totally a different matter.
