cirrus specialises in helping business tenants with all their commercial property lease needs. Franchising is often defined as offering a proven model and providing the support to replicate that model. Yet few franchisors are able to offer the expert support on one of the most critical factors, commercial property lease negotiations. Cirrus is able to offer that support and practical assistance.
For franchisors we can prepare a customised franchisee document support package, training days and franchisee help lines.
For franchisees (who are invariably the tenant) we can assist with searching for the right property, negotiating the Heads of Terms and lease document and Rent Reviews.
Only representing tenants, we have no potential conflict of interest.
To find out how we are helping other franchisors and their franchisees contact, Robert Dick tel: 01865 487 210 email:
