Should I lease to a startup business?

Commercial Leasing – Property Owners
Many successful businesses begin as startups, making this a strategic rather than automatic decision. Owners should evaluate the experience of the principals, capitalization, business plan, industry knowledge, available guarantees, and overall financial strength rather than focusing solely on the age of the company.
Some startup tenants become outstanding long-term occupants, while others may present greater leasing risk.
Each opportunity deserves to be evaluated on its individual merits.
