Before you Sign Your
Lease……Take this Class!
Tuesday June 16th
2015 6.30 - 8.30pm Old Stone House
While signing a
commercial lease is one of the most important business decisions a small
business owner will make, new businesses often fail to properly consider the
risks under the belief that they are entering into a “form” agreement with the
landlord. That “form” agreement, however, is almost always extremely
favorable to the landlord when it is first presented to a commercial tenant.
This course will offer some practical suggestions to ensure that your business
interests are being well served and that you minimize the risk to you and your
company. The course will be taught by an attorney who regularly counsels both
landlords and tenants on lease agreements.
You will learn about:
- The risks in
signing a blanket personal guarantee
- Understanding
a “good-guy guarantee”
- Default
provisions, attorney’s fee provisions and other issues to consider
