Most business owners will need commercial premises to run their businesses. Where you own a restaurant, this is essential due to the nature of your business. A common way businesses occupy property is through a commercial lease. A lease gives you sole occupation of the business premises in return for rent. However, some commercial leases differ, such as turnover leases. Turnover leases are becoming common for restaurant owners in the UK. This has mainly been the case since the effects of the covid-19 pandemic. As a restaurant owner, you may consider whether a turnover-based rent is right for your business. This article will explore why a turnover lease may be suitable for a restaurant owner in the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A turnover lease<\/a> is a commercial lease where the turnover amount of the business tenant determines the rental amount they will pay. The landlord will agree with their tenant on a percentage of the turnover to base the rent on. This can vary between 1-15% and tends, on average, to be 7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two main types of turnover leases. These are the turnover-only model and the turnover and base model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also various pros and cons<\/a> of a turnover lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your restaurant is new, a turnover rent may offer some security as you benefit from a rental amount that reflects how well your business is performing. It can also allow you to qualify for a commercial lease where you may not have otherwise met the required financial criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, if your restaurant is seasonal, such as one where you have a predominantly outdoor eating area, there will be times of the year when trade is relatively quiet. As turnover during these periods will be low, you can rest assured that your rent will be low too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further, as there are different models for turnover leases, you may be able to negotiate one that fits your restaurant business model, such as a turnover-only model, which means you know the minimum and maximum turnover level, which will affect your rent amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Continue reading this article below the form\n <\/i>\n<\/a>\nBenefits of a Turnover Lease <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
