General Information

Choosing business premises is one of the most significant business decisions you will make and you need to be sure the premises are suitable for your circumstances. A key element of your decision should be the obligations set out in the lease. Before entering into a lease you are recommended to refer to the Code of Commercial Leases available through professional institutions and trade associations.
