Small Business Lease



BIS publishes lease to help independent retailers

A new template lease for small businesses and landlords has been launched by BIS. The Small Business Lease was developed by Royal Institution for Chartered Surveyors, working with the British Retail Consortium and British Property Federation. The lease is free to download and use and is designed to help independent retailers and other small firms when negotiating a lease for a shop or office. Paul Bagust of the Royal Institution for Chartered Surveyors said: "In simplifying the leasing process for landlords and small business tenants, we hope to support SMEs and provide a boost to the British high street in a time of decline."
