Progress
0%
One missed clause can cost more than the review.
If your lease has a trap in it, we will point to the exact line and tell you what it means in practice.
Real-world pressure point
We caught the clause early.
A Dublin 8 café came to us with a draft lease that pushed all repairs onto the tenant, including structural issues. We narrowed the wording, added a sensible break right after fit-out, and cut back a rent review format that would have hit them too hard.
That deal moved forward. The owner kept room to trade, and the landlord still got a signed lease.
Small businesses first
No wasted jargon. No grandstanding.
Buying or selling a business
We handle the papers while you keep the trade moving.
When a business changes hands, the lease, stock, fixtures, and contracts need a clean paper trail. We check title, review liabilities, and make sure the sale terms line up with the premises deal.
If the site, stock, or staff transfer needs careful timing, we set that out in writing before completion day.
Due diligence
We check the business records, the lease position, debts, and any limits on assignment.
Asset or share sale
The structure matters. We keep the route clear so tax, risk, and control are dealt with in order.
Completion support
We prepare signatures, handover papers, and closing steps so the deal does not stall at the end.
Business lease and contract questions
Short answers for owners who want the plain version first.
We use fixed-price review packages for many start-ups and shop owners. The price depends on the length of the lease and how much negotiation is needed.
A clear lease can move fast. If the papers are in order, we can usually give an initial review within 48 hours and then move on to negotiation.
You can ask, but your leverage drops after signature. It is better to have the clause checked before you commit, especially on rent review and repair wording.
Yes. We help with charity governance documents Ireland organisations rely on, along with contract checks, premises leases, and trustee paperwork.
