Small Business Course: Before you Sign Your Lease.........Take this Class!
Considering renting a commercial space for your new venture? You need to take this class before you sign on the dotted line! An attorney hosts the class and will take you through the steps you need to consider and be there to answer any questions.
This class is useful for those starting a business and looking for a brick and mortar location and for those interested in learning about commercial leases for small businesses.
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
