Below is a link to an article on entrepreneur.com with many tips on negotiating a lease, and it specifically refers to a lease negotiation for a tax office. During my career in the tax industry, I’ve negotiated, directly or indirectly, more than 1,000 tax office leases. I can attest to the many pitfalls and the risk of making a serious mistake or overpaying for the space. You can also find some advice in an article I wrote for the NATP Tax Pro Journal titled, “Leveling the Playing Field” available on my website at the second link below. I cover this topic, as well as Tax Office Site Selection, in more detail in our Tax Office Expansion Guide. But I’ll be glad to answer specific questions you may have.
