A group for anyone considering opening a physical store on the high street.
 
The focus of the group is on renting commercial property which can be risky, complex and time intensive, but ultimately incredibly rewarding and if done correctly will transform your business. Physical retail enables you to demonstrate the quality of your product or service, engage with customers face-to-face and build brand awareness and loyalty.
 
Feel free to ask / discuss everything and anything including:
How to find a property and where to look
What terms to offer and tactics in negotiation
How to check affordability of each property
What are the fit out costs
What to do and when in the leasing process
How long does it take from Property Search to your first day of trade
 
We will provide guidance and support where we can.
