OEN Workshop: From Garage to an Office - Everything an Entrepreneur Needs to Know about Leasing Space
Website
Description
Besides employee payroll, "Office, Industrial, or Retail Space" is usually a company's highest business expense. Yet many entrepreneurs put this on the back burner and deal with their space needs at the last minute.
This workshop will cover what you need to know when your company is growing and you are ready to take the next step for new space or ready to expand/relocate from your current location. This session will help you plan, as well as begin thinking of future space needs so you do not lose your leverage with landlords or get thrown into a space that will cost you and your investors money that could and should be used towards other business expenses.
Topics covered in this session will be:
Timeline for the real estate process
Lease terms
Typical length of leases and expectations for Tenant Improvements
Costs the Landlord should pick up, NOT the company
Costs other than the rent you should expect
Typical steps during the real estate process
