WEBINAR: Restaurant and Retail Lease negotiations during COVID

The Marin Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is offering mini webinars to help you navigate the challenges facing your business during this unprecedented time.  Come and learn from the experts why it is necessary for tenants to start dialogues with their landlords regarding renegotiating their leases to plan for long term survival during the COVID era.

Many Landords understand that there will be a 50% or more occupancy rate over the next few years and are looking to keep their viable tenants and now is the time to negotiate better terms.  If they don't want to budge, what are your options?
