Negotiating your Space - Retail and Commercial Leases

Next date: Tuesday, 17 June 2025 | 04:00 PM to 07:00 PM

Join SBMP Retail Mentor, Joanna Arhontis for a workshop on negotiating lease agreements and renewals.

Are you looking for a commercial or retail space? Are you coming towards the end of your current lease agreement? Not sure where to start with the legalities of a new lease? Do you struggle communicating with your landlord or leasing agent? If so, this is the workshop for you!

Joanna Arhontis, retail specialist, business entrepreneur, thought leader and solution finder with over 20 years’ experience in running her own business, has a great deal of hard earned knowledge to share with you.

In this workshop you will learn:

1. To understand the lease structure, gross versus net lease and how this will impact your business
2. How to know what the lease terms are and what your renewal options are
3. To understand the lease outgoings and what this means in a practical sense to your profit margin
4. To understand if the lease for a rental space has any council or government restrictions for its permitted use. Can you operate your business in this space?
5. The art of negotiation – if you don’t ask you don’t get – but know what and how to ask is crucial.

At the end of this workshop you will walk away with an action plan for your next steps towards securing a new lease, or lease renewal, that works for you and your business.
