How to find commercial stores for rent

If you’re opening your first shop, then choosing the perfect place to rent is a big deal. If you find yourself confused or overwhelmed regarding where to start, below we have highlighted the most important steps for you to take.

1. Do thorough research. Choose your store’s location based on where your customers are, where potential foot traffic is, and what makes the most sense financially. Have an understanding of the competition you have in the area before confining yourself to that spot.
2. Figure out your budget, taking into account the potential lease agreement. If you’re unsure about the profitability of your business, it might be better to sign a shorter lease agreement with the option to extend rather than be trapped in a two-year lease. One recommendation you can follow is that between 3% to 10% of your gross monthly sales should be allocated to your lease. Keep in mind the additional costs that will come with the rent, such as utilities, property taxes, and insurance.
3. Determine the area the shop should be. For your store, you will want to have enough space so that you can have a variety of items to sell or, in a dining establishment, space for tables and chairs. However, you don’t want to be paying for space you don’t need.
4. Input your filters into Locanto to browse potential listings. In the navigation, select the desired location, then input the price range and floor space to only view listings that fit your requirements.
5. Contact the advertiser and set up viewing appointments. It’s good to view a few different possibilities rather than focusing on one listing. Always make sure to see the property in person prior to leasing.
6. Understand the lease agreement. Before signing anything, ensure you completely understand the terms of the leasing agreement. If you are in need of any assistance, peruse the Legal Services category to find a lawyer specializing in real estate law.
