Jeremy Behar is President & CEO of Cirrus Tenant Lease Services, a company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that helps businesses negotiate leases for commercial and retail office space. Many small business owners and entrepreneurs get themselves into trouble by leasing too much or too little space. They then find themselves locked into a contract that no longer fits their needs. Here we discuss the pitfalls you should be on the lookout for, as well as ways you can negotiate expansion rights and early termination language into your lease. Having flexibility in your lease can be a critical component of startup success.
