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 in commercial leasing and acting as a lease advisor nationally, I help business owners save significant money, time, and stress. The financial savings from my services typically far outweigh the costs of engaging 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 your 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 for the renewal; however, I understand that time can slip or landlords can be challenging. I leverage my industry expertise in commercial leasing 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 you secure the best deal. 

**Exercising Options** 

If you have an existing lease and 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 in achieving significant reductions as well as other incentives. 

**New Sites** 

If you're looking for a new site for your business, you need expert advice to ensure you make the right financial decision. As a lease advisor with extensive experience in shopping centres and strip shops, I work with you to ensure your new location stacks up, then we achieve the best commercial deal on your behalf. 

**Dispute Resolution** 

Disputes are emotional, stressful, and can come at a cost. I can provide you with industry expertise and review your lease on your behalf to make sure you are well-informed. 

**Lease Management** 

Our lease database is the solution for your business's lease management. It triggers us to contact you at important junctures to make sure you don't miss opportunities to achieve savings or end up out of lease.
