Our guest for the first installment is Realtor® and broker, Michica Guillory of Commercial Leasing 101 and The Guillory Group. Michica (I call her Mish and she says it’s OK for you to call her that too) have been friends for a number of years and have always been supportive of each others’ business. So she was more than happy to share her expertise. She has worked as a commercial property manager for some pretty big companies here in the Houston area and on today’s show, shares what we as business owners need to know before we sign a commercial lease.
We’ll talk permits, signs, and things in a lease you need to know about like percentage based rent.
Enjoy the show!
