The Lease Checklist is a step-by-step guide designed to help small business owners review and understand commercial lease terms before signing. It ensures that all essential components of a lease are clearly identified, including rent, utilities, maintenance responsibilities, fees, and renewal options, so you know exactly what you are committing to.

Leasing space for your business is a significant financial decision, and this checklist walks you through each critical step with clarity and structure. It helps you verify key lease terms, calculate the true cost of occupancy, and identify potential risks that could impact your cash flow or long-term profitability.

This tool is written in plain language and is easy to follow, even if you have no prior experience reviewing commercial leases. By working through the checklist, you gain confidence in lease discussions, ask the right questions, and avoid costly surprises hidden in lease agreements.

The Lease Checklist supports better financial planning, stronger negotiations, and more informed decision making. It is ideal for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners who want to protect their finances and secure a lease that aligns with their business goals.
