6 Ways To Be A Savvy Kansas City Office Space Lease Negotiator

The current real estate market is ideal for business owners looking to upgrade or find a new space, but even in this buyer’s market negotiating a lease is still a challenge for prospective tenants and requires careful research and diligence.  Once you have found your dream location, take a look at a few of these ways to make sure you are negotiating the best lease you can get:

Setting Your Lease Term
Your first negotiating point in a lease will be the term and the rent.  Ideally, your goal is to avoid over committing while still allowing yourself flexibility in the long run.  Most small businesses aim for a one to two year lease term with the option to renew.  It is also important to address rent increases over your term, along with renewal options, to avoid getting hit out of the blue with rent increases, which can be a sudden blow to your margins and cash flow.

Be prepared for a landlord to push for a long-term lease.  Utilizing a broker who knows the market and landlords’ tricks is a smart idea, but be aware that brokers work for the landlord and get commission on the total value of your lease.  You might talk to a real estate lawyer before consulting a broker to get some recommendations and some help navigating negotiations.

Read Your Lease
It seems like a no-brainer, but it can be tempting to skim through some of the dull parts.  However, it is important to go over all of the details of your lease and even hire a commercial real estate attorney to review the clauses and fine print.

8 Small Office Lease in Kansas City Tips Every Businessperson Should Know: Part II

If you are hunting for a commercial space for lease in Kansas City, pause for a moment to consider your business’s needs and do a little research on the ins and outs of renting commercial real estate.  Here are some more tips to help you get started:

3.    Don’t let your enthusiasm for making a good deal hurt your negotiation skills.  It is all too easy to get caught up in negotiations and compromise too much in order to secure the deal.  If you are not getting what you want out of a negotiation, do not consider it a failure, but just a step in the process of finding what your business needs.  Then proceed to the next best option.
4.    Distinguish between the business points and the legal points.  Make sure that both you and the landlord are on the same page about the business points of the transaction before moving on to the legal points.  This will help organize your negotiations and separate the different stages of negotiating.

Knowing what you are doing before negotiating an office space lease in Overland Park will help you avoid mistakes and oversights that could be costly to your business in the future.  Do a little research to prepare yourself for dealing with expert landlords.

8 Small Office Lease in Kansas City Tips Every Businessperson Should Know

Tenants only rent office space a few times in the course of their corporate careers, whereas landlords are immersed in the leasing process all of the time.  Here are some tips that can help you as a tenant close that gap in expertise between tenants and landlords:

1.    Carefully think about your operating concerns.  Consider the mechanics of how your company operates when you are reviewing the lease.  Think about different issues you might not have been aware of at first glance:
•    HVAC service after hours – is it available and what does it cost?
•    Does your business make higher than average noise levels at certain times?
•    Do your employees like to do things like cook using a microwave during the day, which might be forbidden in the lease?
2.    Don’t forget about the workletter.  There are a few different parts of a lease agreement, including legal points, business points, and the workletter, which is the final negotiation component.  The workletter often deals with things like the dollar amount of an improvement allowance that the landlord will give the tenant, and will state which party has to pay and the consequences if the cost of improvements is over the amount allotted by the landlord.

Sometimes tenants are not aware of all of the details they should be looking at when negotiating a lease, so doing a little research and taking a good look at your business’s needs before starting the process might be in your best interests!
