Commercial (Non-Retail Shop) Leases: Empowering Your Success

Running a business in Queensland usually starts with finding the right location. Unless you’re able to purchase your own business premises to operate from, that location will be secured by a commercial lease. A well-structured lease is the backbone of your operations, offering stability and flexibility as you grow. Unlike retail shop leases, commercial (non-retail) leases aren’t governed by the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994, which means fewer regulations and more room for negotiation—and likely more risk. Our Queensland-based team is here to guide you every step of the way. We’ll help you avoid the pitfalls and strike a deal that is in your best interests.

Why does your commercial lease matter so much?

Because behind every great business is a lease that protects it. Without the right terms in place, flexibility can turn into risk and that’s the last thing you need when you’re chasing growth.

Clarity on terms, no confusion

We turn complicated legal language into practical advice, so you can make decisions with confidence, not guesswork.

Negotiations that put you first

It’s not just about agreeing to terms, it's about creating opportunities. We fight for lease terms that protect your finances and give your business room to breathe.

Spotting risks before they hurt you

Commercial leases don’t come with safety nets. We find the hidden traps, vague clauses, and risks before you sign so your future’s protected.

Exit plans that give you flexibility

Business evolves. We make sure your lease evolves with you with options to move, expand, or renew when the time is right.

A commercial lease should be more than a document; it should be your partner in growth. At Foxlaw, we don’t stop at legal advice. We help you build stability now and freedom for what’s next.

  • Your lease tailored to your goals and risk appetite.
  • We focus on long-term value, not just short-term savings.
  • No fine print surprises, just complete clarity from day one.
  • We stand with you at every stage, from first signature to final renewal.
