Welcome to The Commercial Real Estate Podcast with your host Craig Melby! Craig gets the best leasing terms for business owners, hands down. Whether you’re looking to lease or buy, whether it’s office space, land, industrial or retail, Craig is an expert negotiator.

Today Craig is talking to franchisees. Your order of operations is critical here, even more critical than in 7th grade Pre-Algebra. Get your franchise agreement done first. Then, sign a lease.

If you don’t yet have everything wrapped up with your franchise agreement, you can only go ahead and sign a lease that is contingent upon you getting an acceptable franchise agreement done.

Watch out for inflexible franchisors. Are they just trying to make money off of you or do they want you to succeed. For example, if you’re not able to find a suitable site in the time they’ve allotted you, how understanding are they that the market may have shifted?

Be sure to refer back to one of our greatest episodes on franchising: Franchisees Beware! Don’t Fall into the DIY Trap – Critical Advice From the National Franchise Institute – Episode 40.

As always, your host is Craig Melby, the founder of LeaseSmart. His main goal is to find companies the best facilities and get them the best terms to make their business more profitable and less vulnerable to future, unpredictable circumstances. If you’re finding yourself in this situation give Craig a call.

Craig can be reached at 561-886-8645 and craigmelby@leasesmart.com.

Have a fantastic day!
