Leasing Advocacy

Your commercial lease is most likely the second biggest expense for your business, so why would you go it alone?

With extensive experience negotiating leases nationally, saving owners significant money, time and stress, the commercial savings typically always far outweigh the costs to engage me.

The process begins with understanding your business, your financial position, and your future plans. Whether you are entering a new lease, renewing an existing one, relocating, or preparing for a business sale, we assess how the lease needs to work for the business, not just today, but over its full term. I then review the proposed lease or existing agreement in detail, translating key commercial terms into plain English and identifying risks that could impact cash flow, flexibility, or exit options.

There are several triggers when it comes to commercial or retail leases, below are some examples and valuable tips.

Renewals

I always suggest a long lead time to the renewal, however I understand that time can slip or landlords can be challenging. I leverage industry expertise and data to take the stress off your plate and achieve the best commercial outcomes on your behalf.

Market Reviews

Knowledge is key to successful negotiation. I assess your surrounding market and factor in national trends to ensure you have a solid understanding of where your base rent and core terms should sit. Being armed with data ensures the best deal. 

Exercising Options

If you have an existing lease and have an option to renew there are key dates that need to be adhered to. When exercising, only the base rent is legally up for negotiation however we have assisted countless tenants achieve significant reductions as well as other incentives.
