Bullhead City AZ Commercial Real Estate - Impress The Landlord With Your Business Plan To Get A GREAT Deal On Your Lease!

In this competitive leasing market, one of the first questions prospective commercial real estate tenants ask is, "Is the landlord in a position to negotiate price and terms?"

Lately, that's translated into: "How much free rent can I get?"

One of the questions, conversely, that the landlord may wish to ask a startup, new-to-area or unknown (as opposed to a national franchise, or a well-established local business, for example) is

"May we see a copy of your business plan?"

Reaction to this request can range from "What's a business plan?" to "How is that any of your business?"

Not having a business plan for submission with a letter of interest is a red flag to many landlords and their brokers.

To seasoned landlords, a prospective tenant's business plan is a key piece of collateral, and can be very instrumental for the business owner to obtain the best possible space for the lowest price, with the maximum landlord cooperation.

To the landlord, their building is THEIR business. It's their income.

A solid business plan answers the question, "Will your tenancy be positive or negative cash flow?" for a landlord.

To execute a lease without a clear idea of the business's plan would be like hiring an employee without a job application or resume--and what bank would loan you money without a loan app?

I often find that resistant prospects simply don't know how to write a business plan.

For a startup, writing a business plan is vitally important, both to impress the landlord and to keep you on track for success.

To write a business plan that impresses the landlord:

• Start with your company's vision or mission statement.

That's a line or two describing exactly what you want your company to be known for in its industry, and how it plans to do that.

Example: Wonderful Widgets, Inc, the top supplier of widgets to widget users in the Tri-State Area, using a proprietary fabrication process that streamlines production, facilitates the fastest turn times and assures customer satisfaction through superior customer care.

• Identify your demographic. This will also help the landlord determine if you will be a good fit for the property you're interested in. He may even have another in mind that would work better, once he knows who your customer base will be.
  
  
• Identify similar businesses in the area you would consider competitors. It's possible that a tenant already in place may have an exclusivity clause that would preclude tenancy in that center. On the other hand, a symbiotic relationship may be possible.
  
  
• List the working capital you will need, and where you plan to get the money (or verify that you have it).
  
  
• List the type of buildout you will need. A site plan or floorplan would be ideal here. This will help the landlord 'pencil' tenant improvements and probably, shorten negotiations.

• List the staff you will be hiring, when and for what purpose.
  
  
• List the equipment and fixtures you will need for your business, and its costs.
  
  
• List the amount of reserves you will need on hand for anything unforeseen, and the source of those reserves. In my seasonal resort area, this is critical.
  
  
• Determine your estimated costs for the period you will lease the property (5-10 years is a good projection period) including advertising, payroll, utilities, taxes, insurance and tools of your trade, etc.

• Project your estimated net operating income for the business during each of the years of tenancy.
  
  
• Note plans for expansion and at what point of the plan's timeline it is anticipated.

• Include, if you feel it necessary, a confidentiality statement for the landlord and his broker to sign.

• Finally, make a statement or attach a resume about your personal qualifications that will make the business a success.

• Include a cover sheet.

Recognize that a business plan is a work in progress. Recently, I had an owner of a startup tell me he had written his business plan over a dozen times in as many years, adapting to changing times and augmenting as new information and data comes in. This is a formula for success.

When you have an organized, clear business plan, you can make the right impression on a landlord. In turn, that landlord will be far more likely to assist you with buildout, incentives and yes . . . perhaps, even that free or reduced effective rent, to get you started comfortably in your new Bullhead City commercial space.

I represent landlords of prime commercial space for lease in Bullhead City, AZ and work with tenants seeking Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley AZ office, retail, industrial and flex space, to name a few commercial property types.

Bullhead City AZ Commercial Real Estate - Representing Yourself In A Commercial Transaction Is GREAT NEWS - for the OTHER PARTY!

Mike Moloney, president of Phoenix's Commercial Real Estate Institute shared a great article from www.inc.com with his network of
Certified Commercial Real Estate Specialists this morning:

Why You Need A Commercial REALTOR

In the article, the author Hans Steege tells the story of what he encountered representing his company as leasing agent, as they set out to find new commercial space.

What Hans found out was that without representation, his company was disadvantaged.

They went in supremely prepared, to be sure--with knowledge of their business and its needs. Computer aided design. Armed with information about the market offerings.

Yet, they were not taken seriously by the landlords and their commercial real estate brokers.

As a Bullhead City AZ commercial real estate broker who represents owners of improved and unimproved commercial real estate properties for sale and lease, I have a duty to protect my client and be honest in dealings with customers.

That duty, however, doesn't extend beyond honesty where unrepresented parties are concerned.

We always set out to create a win-win situation. It's just common sense.

But we won't--we CAN'T--let our clients leave money on the table.

I hear so often, especially from investors, that they don't NEED an agent, they don't WANT an agent involved, an agent will cost them more money, they don't want to be tied down because more than one agent is better. So they seek out the listing broker and act as their own representative.

As soon as most consumers start negotiating on their own behalf, the difference between them and a seasoned commercial broker becomes apparent.

Hans's story ended happily:

"So we bit the bullet and hired a commercial realtor. Thank goodness. We had done a great job of figuring out which space and location would work best for us, but the real value the realtor provided was negotiating the terms of the lease and the build-out provisions. We didn’t get everything we wanted, but we got a lot more than we would have otherwise. We got a significant rebate to cover build-out costs, reasonable repair terms, and the ability to have dogs in the office. And, of course, the wisdom not to try this on our own next time."

And their rep even negotiated for them to have their dogs in the office! Good rep!

(My dog Luna has never met an office she didn't like. That's my girl!)

We help our clients analyze, buy, sell or lease commercial and investment real estate in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ, utilizing the marketing, negotiation and cash flow analysis tools used by the top commercial real estate professionals in the world.

Bullhead City AZ Commercial Real Estate - FOR LEASE - 2840 Hwy 95 Ste 204 - PRIME END CAP LEASE SPACE - Restaurant Buildout

Which Bullhead City commercial real estate space for lease you start your local business in--or move it to--is an important decision for a business owner ANYWHERE, and Bullhead City AZ 86442 commercial property buyers or tenants are no exception.

Even if you have the best product or service in the world, if customers can't find, easily get to and easily move on from your space to their next stop, you will have an uphill battle to profitability.

You might save a few bucks now by choosing a less than ideal location, but if your business doesn't thrive, you stand to lose far more in the long run.

It's important to look at many things besides simply "Location x3":

• Is there enough parking to make it convenient and attractive for consumers to patronize the business?
• Can the business be easily spotted by someone who doesn't know the area and, say, found it in the phonebook or online?
• Are there other businesses nearby that your customers might also want to visit but that don't compete with yours?
• Is it easy to drive up?
• Is it easy to drive away?
• Is there enough traffic to ensure a brisk succession of customers?

When a location has ALL of these attributes AND MORE, it is a PRIME location.

2840 Highway 95, Suite 204, Bullhead City AZ 86442 is a PRIME location. And this Bullhead City commercial space for lease has it ALL:

1. VISIBILITY. This is a center of town spot that can be easily seen even at the 45 MPH speed limit drive by heading either north or south on 95--and everyone can find a Wal Mart Supercenter! This property is on the Highway in front of Wal Mart.

1. ACCESSIBILITY. Easy in, easy out from either Mohave Drive or the south entrance to the Wal Mart Supercenter. Mohave Drive was recently expanded to connect to the Bullhead Parkway, increasing alternate routes from Laughlin, NV, Needles, CA and the entire South Mohave Valley. The future Highway 95 Realignment AND the proposed and imminent third bridge over the Colorado River (probably at the Parkway or nearby Rainbow Drive) will open this area even more to seasonal and vacationing visitors to Bullhead City.

1. ANCHOR. Wal Mart is an extremely busy spot with 24/7/365 overflow vehicle and foot traffic to the space.
2. HIGH TRAFFIC. This is easily the busiest section of town.

1. AREA BUSINESSES. The building already has secured long term leases with GameStop and Der Wienerschnitzel--and nearby China Panda, ATT, Firehouse Coffee, US Bank, Colorado Place Business Park and Mohave High School less than a mile north mean snowbirds, locals, youngsters and businesspeople popping in to the conveniently located spot for a quick lunch or service.

1. PARKING. Literally hundreds of in common spaces so there will be plenty of room for your customers to conveniently visit and park anything from a motorcycle to an RV towing a boat!

This 1558 SF space was just vacated by Quizno's and includes commercial walk-in refrigerator and freezers, prep tables, 2 HVAC systems, furniture and more. However, this space is versatile and could easily be converted to retail, office or medical space.

The property is available for immediate occupancy at 2995/mo NNN which includes a CAM of 1100.

Interested parties may contact us using the contact info below, and I am easily text messaged for questions, further details, due diligence materials or to set up a viewing appointment.
