Investment in a sound property is an investment in the future profits that your business could gather.

Businesses have fallen to ruin many times thanks to an iron-clad lease locking a company into a disadvantageous location. For business owners purchasing land, the same could be said for improvements to buildings and lots that eat into revenue.

Before signing a purchase or lease agreement, engage a lawyer to examine the whole property and proposed terms together. It might be the case that prematurely signing something binding could also assign to you a responsibility to repair or renovate certain deficiencies or problem areas that could’ve fairly been considered the original owner’s responsibility.

When signing a lease in particular, define what upkeep will be your responsibility and what falls into the hands of the property owner.

Your business is meant to be your future. You sink enough into it that you owe it to yourself to approach buying or leasing a property to house it with the watchful eye of counsel that understands the demands and potential future complications of Real Estate Law.
