Lease Analysis · $1,000

Understand it before you sign it.

A written second opinion on the LOI or lease the landlord just put in front of you. Risks, opportunities, talking points. Five business days. Just the memo — no upsell.

01 · What you receive

A memo. Nothing else.

i.

Written analysis memo

Four to five pages covering rent, term, escalations, build-out and TI allowance, personal guaranty, exit terms, exclusivity, and signage. Specific risks, specific opportunities, specific concerns. Plain English, not legalese.

ii.

Negotiation talking points

A ranked list of the issues worth pushing on, with proposed counter-language your attorney or broker can use directly. Marked by priority so you know what’s worth fighting for and what’s noise.

iii.

14-day email follow-up

If you have questions after reading the memo, you can email us for fourteen days. Quick responses, no extra fee. Beyond that, a debrief call is available as a separate engagement.

02 · Scope

What’s in. What’s not.

Included

  • Review of one (1) existing LOI or lease document the landlord has prepared
  • Written 4–5 page analysis memo
  • Ranked negotiation talking points
  • Email questions for 14 days after delivery

Not included

  • Drafting an LOI or counter-offer document (that’s LOI Strategy)
  • Site evaluation, market analysis, or rent benchmarking (that’s LOI Strategy)
  • 30-minute or 60-minute debrief call (separate engagement)
  • Direct contact or negotiation with the landlord on your behalf
  • Multiple revisions of the memo as terms change
  • Legal opinions (your attorney handles those)
03 · How it works

Five steps. About one week end-to-end.

  1. Free 30-minute strategy call

    You walk us through what you have and what you’re trying to do. We tell you whether the Lease Analysis is right for you—or whether you need LOI Strategy, Salon Evaluation, or something else.

  2. Engagement letter & payment

    One-page letter, $1,000 paid by ACH or wire. Sign electronically. Work begins on receipt.

    Cancellation: If you cancel before we’ve begun substantive work (typically within two business days of providing intake materials), the fee is refunded less a $150 administrative fee covering intake and engagement setup. Once we’ve started substantive work, the fee is non-refundable. Once the memo has been delivered, the fee is non-refundable.

  3. Document intake

    You send the LOI or lease document the landlord has prepared, plus the property address and your intended services. Five days for us to deliver starts when we receive everything.

  4. Memo delivered

    Within 5 business days. PDF document with the analysis and ranked talking points. That’s the deliverable.

  5. You take it from here

    Take the memo to your attorney. Take it to your broker. Use the talking points to push back on the landlord. The next move is yours—and you’re 14 days into email follow-up if you need clarification on anything we wrote.

When this is the right move. And when it isn’t.

This is for you if…

  • You have an LOI or lease document from your landlord in hand and want a sober second opinion before you sign or counter.
  • You want analysis, not drafting. You’ll handle the negotiation yourself or with your attorney.
  • You’re under 14 days from a decision. A short, fast read with a clear verdict.
  • You’re price-sensitive but not negligent. $1,000 is the cost of a single bad clause caught early.

This isn’t for you if…

  • You don’t have a document yet. Take the free strategy call instead.
  • You need help drafting an LOI to make your offer. That’s LOI Strategy at $3,000.
  • You’re buying an existing salon. That’s Salon Evaluation at $4,500.
  • You want us to negotiate with the landlord. We don’t. That’s an attorney or broker’s job.
