Mistakes Small Businesses Make When Leasing Commercial Space

Earlier this week we shared a few office leasing tips for small businesses and today we’re going to stay on the subject of small business and share a few of the common mistakes they make. As the largest expense a small business will incur it’s important to be as informed as possible before entering a lease. With that being said some of the common mistakes that small businesses make when leasing office space include:

  • Making impulse decisions. As a financial investment and place you will spend a great deal of time leave emotions behind in order to make a thorough, informed decision.
  • Relying only on listings. Listing are good to see what’s on the market but their information is often minimal inaccurate.
  • Entering a lease without the help of a broker. Brokers are not only market experts and experienced in negotiating leases.
  • Putting off the search for an office space. The search should begin at least six months prior to the estimated move-in.
  • Entering the process without any knowledge of what goes into leasing commercial spaces.

  • Smaller is better.
