Corporate real estate is typically the second largest line item expense in a company’s budget, and it’s easy to spend hundreds of thousands more than is necessary on a multi-million dollar office lease. To avoid one of the most common and costly mistakes made by tenants, start the lease analysis process early. This shifts the leverage from the landlord to the tenant. As importantly, it provides your company with the opportunity to go through a lease analysis process which, if managed in your best interest, will include landlords that can best accommodate your needs competing for your occupancy, and will result in securing the most attractive lease arrangement as well as ongoing protections for your company.
