🏪Business owners need to be aware of everything that comes with signing on to a commercial lease before jumping into such a big commitment.
🔎Allowing an attorney to review the commercial lease PRIOR to signing can save you lots of future trouble. Attorneys know what to terms are favorable or unfavorable to you as a tenant and small business owner. This simple, proactive measure can save you stress, time, and money.
Let's break down some of the points you and your attorney should focus on before entering into this type of lease:
👉 Lease Terms. Pay attention to how the lease is structured, when it begins and ends, and any improvements the landlord may make to the space. Landlords can also adjust the price depending on the duration of the lease so make sure you are comfortable with the price and the length of the lease.
👉 Renewal. Make sure the renewal terms outlined are ones that work for your business. Does the lease renew automatically? Does the price increase with each renewal? Are there stipulations if you wish to vacate the space?
Of course, there are several more points to consider, and we will unpack them in future posts!
