Our franchise clients will tell you that we are very responsive and answer all questions quickly whether big or small. We want our clients to consider us their partner as compared to others in an industry riddled with business brokers, franchise brokers, real estate brokers, individuals and companies that are not always looking out for their customers' best interests. There is a lot of money at stake and many franchisees put their retirement or house on the line when they begin their franchise journey. Our goal is to to help you make the right decision and negotiate the best deal for you.
Franchise Commercial Leasing
The second most important document for a franchisee is their commercial lease. The terms of the lease are just as important as the location, which can make or break a franchise. We serve as commercial leasing counsel to franchisees and review and negotiate their leases in a cost-effective, efficient and timely manner. We regularly review commercial leases and deal with landlords in Indiana and throughout the country.
