A written, plain-English breakdown of the specific clauses, risks, and uncommon terms in your commercial lease — so you can decide with full confidence before committing. Most people only discover these issues after they’re legally locked in.
Most first-time business owners don’t fail because of their product.They fail because of the lease they rushed into.By the time they realise it, it’s too late.
It’s a reality check.We review commercial leases before you sign and identify the clauses that most often:- Quietly drain cash
- Lock owners into bad situations
- Make exits impossible
- Turn “reasonable rent” into unpredictable exposureNot hypotheticals.
Patterns we see over and over again.
This is for you if:- You’re signing your first commercial lease
Retail or office space (under ~10,000 sq ft)
You’re committing to 3–5+ years
You feel pressure to “just sign and move forward”This is for you if you want clarity on risk before signing a lease that could cost you thousands.This is NOT for you if:- You want someone to tell you what to do
- You’re looking for legal advice
- You’ve signed multiple leases and accept the risk
- You want reassurance instead of clarityThis is not for you if you're looking for negotiation, legal advice, or a simple checklist.If you want comfort, this isn’t it.
Within 72 hours of submitting your lease, you receive a written risk summary that includes:1. A Plain-English overview of the lease. So you understand what you’re committing to
A concise summary of what the lease actually commits you to — no legal jargon.2. Flagged Risk Clauses with Practical Impact. So you know which terms could materially hurt cash flow
Clauses that could increase cost, limit flexibility, or expose you to unexpected obligations — explained in clear business terms.3. Uncommon or one-sided terms
Anything that deviates from standard tenant expectations is clearly called out.4. “Before You Sign” Checklist
A practical list of questions to resolve with your solicitor, agent, or landlord before signing.5. Bottom-Line Exposure Summary. So you can decide whether signing is rational or reckless
A short, clear section answering:“If you sign as-is, where could this lease realistically hurt me?”Delivered as a downloadable PDF/email, designed to be read in under 20 minutes.No negotiation.
No redlines.
No legal advice.Just a structured, readable document designed to help you make a clear decision.
Let’s be explicit:❌ Not legal advice
❌ Not negotiation on your behalf
❌ Not a guarantee your deal will work
❌ Not a substitute for a lawyerLawyers tell you what’s legal.
We tell you what usually hurts.Different job.
Risk: Uncapped Operating Expenses (High Impact). This is one of the most common clauses first-time tenants overlook.
This lease allows the landlord to pass through operating costs without a clear cap or audit standard.In similar leases, first-time tenants often see 10–25% effective rent increases unrelated to revenue, typically beginning in years 2–3.That’s the level of specificity you get.
Not opinions. Patterns.
Every lease is reviewed using a structured risk framework built around common tenant-side failure points.We focus on:
- Clauses that create unlimited or poorly defined cost exposure
- Terms that reduce exit flexibility or lock you in longer than expected
- Obligations that shift operational or maintenance risk onto the tenant
- Language that deviates from typical tenant expectationsThe output is not legal advice — it’s a practical risk assessment designed to help you decide whether signing this lease is sensible, risky, or a deal-breaker.
Most people don’t regret signing a lease because they were reckless.
They regret it because they didn’t know what to look for.Friends say “looks normal.”
Brokers are incentivized to close.
Landlords already know where the leverage is.We exist to slow the moment where mistakes are made.
A lease isn’t a monthly decision.
It’s a multi-year exposure.People routinely pay:
- Tens of thousands in avoidable costs
- Years of rent for space they can’t use
- Personal guarantees they didn’t understandThis review costs £350.That’s insignificant compared to what one bad clause can cost you.
If we miss a material risk that later costs you money within 12 months, we refund 100% of our fee.We only do this because the same problems show up again and again.
1. Upload your lease + short context form
2. We review it through our risk framework
3. You receive a written teardown within 72 hours
4. You decide what to do next — informedNo calls required.
No upsells.
No pressure.
- Delivered as a written document (PDF or email)
- Clear headings, bullet points, no jargon
- Designed to be read in under 20 minutes
Commercial Lease Reality Check£350 — one-timeIf that feels expensive, the lease probably isn’t.
Commercial leases expose you to tens of thousands in risk. A £350 check dramatically reduces that guesswork.
No legal advice. No negotiation. Just a structured assessment you can act on.
Most commercial leases represent a £50k–£250k commitment over their term.
If you already know what you’re signing and accept the risk — don’t buy this.But if you’re about to make a long-term commitment and something feels off, this is your chance to see the deal without optimism or pressure.This is for first-time tenants who want clarity before commitment.
