Who it is for
SMB Acquirers
- Searchers reviewing target-company leases
- Independent sponsors evaluating lease assumability
- Anyone where a non-assignable lease kills the deal
Common traps we catch
CAM (Common Area Maintenance) escalators with no cap
Triple-net exposure (property tax, insurance, maintenance) beyond market norms
Auto-renewal with short notice windows
Assignment-on-sale clauses that require landlord consent without standards
Personal guarantees on 10-year commitments
Exclusivity clauses with narrow definitions
Right-of-first-refusal clauses favoring landlord
Relocation rights (landlord can move you)
Percentage-rent clauses for restaurants and retail
