Signing a Commercial Lease? Here’s What Business Owners Need to Know

Описание: Signing a commercial lease is one of the biggest financial commitments a business owner can make — and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode of Counxel Academy, business attorney Tim Coons breaks down what every business owner needs to know before signing a commercial lease, including the hidden costs, personal liability risks, and long-term obligations that can impact your business for years.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Why commercial leases are very different from residential leases
The true cost of renting beyond monthly rent
What personal guarantees really mean for your personal assets
How repair and maintenance obligations can shift to tenants
What to look for in build-out, remodeling, and restoration clauses
Why subleasing and exit options matter more than you think

Small clauses can have big consequences. A lease isn’t just about space — it’s about risk, responsibility, and long-term commitment.

Before you sign, having an attorney review your lease can uncover hidden costs, unfair terms, and negotiation opportunities you didn’t know existed.
