Commercial Leases and Insurance:
Understanding the Mysteries
Understanding the Mysteries
Commercial real estate and insurance coverage is a mystery to many. This is largely due to the wide variety of property types, lease options and coverage requirements.
It can feel overwhelming to work with professionals in the industry when you don't understand the terms and everything is new to you. As is the case with most mysteries, exposing you to the behind the scene inner workings and walking you through the details step by step transforms your perception.
The workshop is designed to provide a basic foundation of understanding. It will be practical and informative but most of all we want it to be fun. During the session you will be introduced to the following concepts:
- Asset types
- Lease options
- Types of insurance coverage
- Purchasing coverage - who you should call and why
- Understanding the certificate of insurance summary page
- Commonly used lease and insurance terms
