FOR A TENANT OF COMMERCIAL PREMISES

Premises that work in favour of your profits and image

We provide advisory services to companies for which commercial premises constitute a key sales channel and are part of brand building. We support retail chains, fitness clubs, gastronomic chains, representatives of the medical and beauty sector, banking, education, logistics operators and brands expanding their showroom chain.

We will help you choose premises tailored to your business, customer profile and development plans by developing location strategy or agreeing lease terms.

STAGES OF COOPERATION

Straight path to profitable commercial premises

We analyse needs, business goals and existing lease contracts. We will prepare inquiries for selected premises and show you possible scenarios along with schedules and recommendations.

Walter Herz

We assess your situation free of charge

We can conduct an audit of the current location, verify the client’s profile and the role of the premises in the sales strategy. We can also analyse your costs and rental price and indicate possible scenarios.

1

We show you the best locations and adjust to the function of premises

We can suggest the location strategy by choosing the function and defining the floor area and key technical parameters.

2

We prepare a short list of premises for verification

We acquire and verify offers from the market but reject locations that do not match the brand profile, expected customer traffic, technical parameters and assumed cost level. We recommend 3-5 best-suited options.

3

We arrange local visits to assess the potential of the location

We organise meetings and visits at premises. We check for the visibility of shop windows, neighbouring tenants, access routes, parking availability and means of public transport. We verify the possibilities of arrangement and key technical parameters.

4

We conduct financial negotiations

We negotiate rents, rent-free periods, fit-out budgets and service charges. We prepare a comparison of options with a cost forecast.

5

We safeguard your interests in the contract

We audit your lease contract and the regulations at the facility and identify risks (non-compete clauses, restrictions on the business profile, penalties, fit-out obligations, settlements on turnover). We negotiate the terms of your lease contract to make it safe for your business.

6

We support you in the fit-out and acceptance of the premises

We can agree on the arrangement assumptions with the owner and designers and ensure their compliance with the brand standard and the lease contract arrangements. Upon request, we recommend contractors and provide support during the acceptance process.

7

We will help you in and upon the opening of your business location

We can verify the readiness of your premises to be opened and finalise the latest arrangements. Upon the start of your business, we can also support you in the decision-making in regard to any further expansion or introduction of changes to the network.

FAQ

We advise on the lease of premises in shopping streets, shopping malls and retail parks, as well as on the ground floors of office buildings and housing estates. We work both on retail (e.g. shops, convenience, showrooms) and service premises (e.g. medical, beauty, fitness, catering, customer service points).

We can help both with your first premises and in building or restructuring the entire network. The best moment to contact us is when your specific concept is ready, but you have not chosen a location to introduce it into, or when you face a decision whether to develop, relocate or halt a given retail/service point.

Most often, we cooperate with companies for which the premises are a key element of their sales strategy: chains, scaled concepts and brands entering new cities. However, we can also bring support to individual premises, especially when it comes to a strategic point, for example, flagship or first premises in a given location.

We do not limit ourselves just to presenting offers. We combine the concept of sales, costs and brand image. We analyse the turnover potential, the total cost of presence in a given location (incl. rent, fees, marketing and fit-out costs) and the impact on the brand. We prepare comparable scenarios (street, gallery, retail park) so as to let the management make a decision based on data, not intuition.

Yes, we help you assess whether the premises are worth maintaining, relocating or closing. We analyse the current contract, the performance of the premises and market conditions and then prepare a negotiation strategy with the Landlord, including rates, rent structure per turnover, rent-free periods, marketing fees and length of the contract.

Yes, we can. We compare these options in terms of customer profile, customer traffic, competition, cost of entry and fixed commitments. This will allow you to see in which type of facility your concept is most likely to achieve the expected results and what the real cost of your presence in each of these locations is.

On your side, we need to be in contact with decision-makers, i.e. the management board or the person responsible for development or sales, in order to have the direction and key choices accepted. In terms of operation, we are the ones who lead the process: we collect and verify offers, prepare analyses and recommendations, conduct meetings and negotiations. Our goal is to let your team focus on your business instead of handling lease issues.

Yes. For brands developing a network in new cities or entering the Polish market, we prepare a map of priority locations, business format recommendations and a shortlist of specific locations. We combine data on customer traffic and profiles and cost data with actionable knowledge of facilities and owners.

We can enter the project at the stage of commercial and legal negotiations. We audit the draft contract and the regulations at the facility, indicate risks, such as non-compete clauses, rules of settlement on turnover, penalties or fit-out obligations, and suggest alternative provisions. We support you in talks with the Landlord until the content of the contract agreed upon is right for you.

Yes. We can help you determine the functional assumptions of the premises and agree upon them with the owner and designers, as well as recommend proven fit-out contractors and equipment suppliers. For clients who need it, we can act as a partner coordinating key stages of the entire implementation.

Most often, clients highlight three benefits: better matching of the location to the business model, more predictable and controlled costs resulting from negotiated rates, rent and fee structures, a safer lease contract and a transparent decision-making process starting from market review and leading to signing a contract and opening of the premises.
