Businesses Involved in Commercial Real Estate Transactions
For many business owners, having the right commercial space is essential. Whether you need space for an office, retail, a restaurant, or any other business, you want to make sure the property is the right setup, the right size, and the right price. This is true whether you are looking to purchase a property or lease a space.
Real estate transactions are particularly risky for businesses. If something falls through or you sign a contract with unfair terms, the deal could place your entire company in jeopardy. The cost of real estate is so high that if you make a wrong move, your bottom line can tank and you could find your company in a difficult financial situation. Some businesses may even face the foreclosure of their commercial properties, which can devastate the company.
Signing a commercial lease can also prove risky for a business. You want to ensure the terms of a commercial lease agreement are fair and favorable to your company as a tenant. Commercial landlords often present tenants with a lease, landlords often dictate the terms of a lease. Too often, even a savvy company owner will fail to identify unfavorable terms in a commercial lease until after signing the lease and moving the business into the space. Some provisions can cripple certain operations, so never sign a commercial lease without first carefully reviewing the agreement with an experienced commercial real estate attorney.
Business owners have too much at stake to not hire qualified legal representation to serve throughout every type of commercial real estate transaction. We help with the successful purchase, sale, or leasing of commercial properties, so contact The Weisblatt Law Firm today.
