Bringing in an expert to review your plans can be a game-changer. With a second set of eyes and ears, you'll be able to sanity-check your thought processes, save time and money, and gain a deeper understanding of the risks and benefits of potential locations. It's an investment that can pay off in a big way, both in the short and long term.
Landlords are increasingly requesting longer leases, yet many business operators and owners may not be fully familiar with the intricacies of lease contracts. As a result, it's not uncommon for leases to be terminated in under a year. However, there's no need for your cafe to become a part of this disheartening statistic. Most issues are almost always avoidable.
If you're experiencing issues within an established lease, we can help you there too.
