Business Sales and Acquisitions

We draft leases with terms and conditions particularly suited to the type of premises being let and to your needs and requirements. We negotiate agreed terms on your behalf with the proposed tenant or their legal representative. We understand that the provisions of the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 (Qld) must be strictly adhered to if the proposed lease is a retail shop lease and we have many years of experience in dealing with such matters. We also help tenants understand their rights and obligations and will provide a summary of the lease terms.

This summary includes relevant dates under the lease, the amount of rental per year, how rental increases are determined, insurance requirements and what the outgoings are. If you are planning to purchase a business, Jacob will sit down with you and get to know you and your business needs and desired outcomes. We are involved in negotiating rent reviews, variations of lease terms and advising with respect to CPI increases, so if you have any questions about commercial leases, get in touch with Jacob by filling out the form below, calling us or dropping into our Buderim office.
