This is the most important step in the entire process. This is what will hold the whole deal up!
When you find your dream space, the first thing the brokers and landlord will ask you is: what do you plan to do and how will you pay for it? So… before looking for property, get clarity on whether you will be leasing and up-fitting with your own cash, someone else’s cash, or you need to finance this project with commercial lending. If you are using a lender, start the process early so you understand what documents they will need for you and how long their process will take.
If you need lender recommendations, please let us know, we will be glad to help you find the right fit. You can arm yourself with that information upfront and create confidence in the lease negotiations.
