🔑 Starting a New Commercial Lease as a Tenant? Don't Skip This Key Step!

I often review leases for business clients who are looking to lease premises for their operations.

I always pay special attention to the fixturing period.

🏢 A fixturing period is the time you get to set up and customize your leased space before officially moving in.

Having enough of this time is crucial for your business success. It lets you make sure everything is just right—from layout to equipment—so you can hit the ground running.

Without enough fixturing time, you might face rushed decisions, extra costs, and operational hiccups.

📝 When you're negotiating your lease, make sure to prioritize a clear and sufficient fixturing period. You should also have your lawyer negotiate a reduced or no rent for the period.

🏆 It's about setting a solid foundation for your business from day one.

We often get asked by my small business clients what the difference is between the shareholders, directors, and officers of a corporation.

Where businesses are small and closely held, there is often a lot of crossover, but business owners should all be aware of the different roles. So, I'm writing a three-part series that briefly covers each, starting with the shareholders.

If you own a corporation of any size or are thinking of starting one, you'll want to read this!
