SkyBridge Advisors’ put over 15 years of successful commercial real estate negotiation and leasing expertise on your side. SBA has negotiated retail and office leases nationwide for start-up and emerging businesses just like yours. Experienced negotiation of lease terms can often save you tens of thousands of dollars and give you options you otherwise might not have. In addition, our experience and knowledge can significantly shorten negotiations times, allowing you to start your business faster and more cost effective.
Why Should I Seek Help?
Because negotiating a lease is far more complicated than you can ever imagine and your expertise lies elsewhere. Your lease is one of the most important contracts you’ll ever sign. It sets out the rights, obligations and responsibilities that will govern your occupancy of the space. A poorly negotiated lease, at a minimum, may result in unnecessary financial hardship, inconvenience, uncertainty and disruption of your business. At worst, your lease can become a liability if you haven’t carefully negotiated every aspect of your occupancy. Your owner has paid to have a real estate professional draft the lease in his favor… you should have a professional on your side to negotiate terms in YOUR favor.
How Does SBA, Inc. Charge?
SBA charges a flat fee for all services. There are no additional charges for phone calls, negotiations or other services. Even your initial consultation is free….
What Does SBA, Inc. Do?
SBA, Inc. provides professional real estate and lease consulting services to small and emerging businesses. With SkyBridge we offer more than lease negotiations, we can help you with your start-up business as we are specialist when it comes to opening and starting a business. We assist business owners with new leases, lease renewals and renegotiations, rent abatement, buy-outs, assignments and legal settlements for broken lease obligations. Avoid going to court as we work with your landlord, seeking economic concessions for you and assuring that the broker and the landlord do not take advantage of you. We focus is on reducing your financial burden by negotiating lower monthly rent, more build out allowance and more free rent and by assuring that the lease properly reflects what the landlord has agreed to.
What About A Lawyer? A Broker?
SBA has an in house counsel with expertise derives from our years of experience in negotiating leases…over 1,000 times! Most lawyers who have done lease work typically do not have experience with the economics and commonly accepted real estate practices, as most only negotiate the legal language that describes the rights and obligations of the parties. Our experience and legal advice is all included In our lease negotiations.
Brokers perform a very valuable service in matching tenants with available space, but most brokers are essentially deal-driven, not detail driven. Brokers work on commission, making them salespeople rather than advisors. If you are suspicious of information from a car salesman that might make $1,000-$2,000 commission on a car sale, shouldn’t you be even more concerned about advice from a broker that might make $10,000 or more in commission on your lease?
