Craig Melby, Small Business Real Estate Leasing Expert & Author
For 35 years Craig Melby has helped hundreds of companies acquire the best office space and facilities by negotiating the best price and lease terms. Many small business owners lease space on their own – not realizing the important incentives they could have received from the landlord, and leaving dangerous lease clauses in their commercial real estate leases.
Business is hard enough without picking a bad location or facility, and without becoming hamstrung by inflexible lease terms – you could have done better! Stories abound about companies who tried to do their own real estate deals, to their cost and detriment.
To help them. Craig Melby talks about the 5 contract clauses that expanding companies MUST have in their real estate leases, plus the 6 “standard” clauses all business owners must avoid.
These and many other subjects are vital to companies that want to avoid expensive commercial real estate mistakes, keep more of their profits, and select offices, facilities, and locations that enhance sales and employee acquisition and retention.
Some examples:
- $50,000 in reduced rent for a pair of doctors because Craig Melby showed up.
- $3 million in extra profits to a business because of one simple lease clause.
- Building flexibility into a lease that will allow you to grow or contract more easily.
- Any business owner will find this information extremely valuable.
