Frequently Asked Questions

What does a tenant advisory firm do for startups?

A tenant advisory firm represents the tenant rather than the landlord throughout the office leasing process. For startups, that means help with defining space needs, identifying options, coordinating tours, comparing proposals, modeling occupancy costs, and negotiating lease terms. The goal is to reduce risk, save leadership time, and secure space that supports hiring, culture, and future growth.
