About this Event
Signing a commercial lease is often one of the biggest financial commitments a business owner will make—but many people go into it without understanding the risks, hidden costs, or negotiation opportunities.
In this class, you’ll learn the key things every tenant should know before renting commercial space. Many business owners make the mistake of calling the number on a “For Lease” sign and negotiating directly with the landlord without realizing what they may be giving up.
This session will walk you through the most common mistakes tenants make, the hidden costs in commercial leases, and the key terms you should understand before signing anything.
By attending this class, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how commercial leasing works and how to protect yourself when negotiating space for your business.
In this class we will cover:
• The major differences between residential and commercial leases
• Why calling the number on the sign can put tenants at a disadvantage
• The most common lease types (Gross, Modified Gross, and Triple Net / NNN)
• Hidden costs many tenants overlook, including CAM charges and rent escalations
• What tenant improvement allowances are and how build-outs work
• Why personal guarantees can create major financial risk
• Important lease terms tenants should negotiate before signing
• How location, traffic, and demographics affect business success
• Red flags to watch for in commercial lease agreements
• A step-by-step process to safely secure commercial space for your business
Whether you’re opening a new business, relocating, or expanding, this class will help you better understand the commercial leasing process so you can make more informed decisions.
Come prepared to learn, ask questions, and gain insights that could help you avoid costly mistakes when renting commercial space.
Before committing to a multi-year commercial lease, take the time to understand the process and protect your business investment.
