Our Services

At Thrive Commercial we have the solution for your commercial property needs

Property Sourcing

Are you struggling with securing your first lease or transitioning to a new property? Concerned about whether you’re getting fair rental terms or unsure how to handle the complexities of lease negotiations?  At Thrive Commercial, we recognise these challenges and provide expert advocacy services to support you through the intricate challenges of sourcing and securing commercial leases.

With over 40 years of expertise in commercial property negotiations, Thrive Commercial is your dedicated advocate, ensuring a seamless experience from finding the right property to negotiating favorable lease terms. We take a personalised approach, understanding your specific business needs including geographic location, floor space, and access requirements. Utilising our extensive network, we identify the best properties, both on-market and off-market, aligning perfectly with your strategic goals.

Our negotiation process is central to our services. We conduct a detailed market rent analysis to secure the most advantageous terms for you, focusing on achieving favourable rent, incentives, and landlord contributions where possible to give you the best head start. By advocating on your behalf and clarifying lease terms and conditions, we foster positive landlord relationships and set the stage for your long-term success.

After securing the lease terms, we assist with the legal and operational transitions, guiding you to fullfill the remaining obligations including bank guarantees and public liability insurance. We coordinate all necessary steps for a smooth handover, including detailed inspections and condition reporting, ensuring you are well-prepared for the future.

Beyond just finding and securing a location, Thrive Commercial can also offer ongoing support through our property management services, keeping communications with landlords clear and optimising your operational expenditures.

At Thrive Commercial, we do more than just address your immediate leasing concerns; we ensure your business thrives from one lease to the next. Choose us for expert guidance and continuous support throughout your leasing journey. While you can’t choose your landlord, you can always choose Thrive Commercial to stand by your side.

Comprehensive Lease Services

At Thrive Commercial, we know that managing commercial leases can raise numerous questions. Are you aware of your critical lease dates and necessary actions? Do you understand how market reviews work, and are you confident in negotiating your next lease renewal? Perhaps you’re contemplating an exit strategy but feel stuck due to your lease commitments. With over 40 years of expertise in commercial lease and property management across Australia, Thrive Commercial is perfectly positioned to navigate these challenges on your behalf.

As your dedicated Commercial Tenant Advocate, we offer a comprehensive suite of lease services tailored to support your business through every phase of its lifecycle, whether you’re expanding, maintaining, downsizing, or optimising operations. Our goal is to help your business not just survive but thrive and grow.

Our Lease Health Check provides a snapshot of your current lease arrangements, aligning them with your business’s broader direction. We review critical dates, reconcile cost liabilities, identify overpayments, and offer clear, actionable recommendations. This ensures you’re fully informed of your ongoing rental and primary lease obligations and prepared for future actions.

When it comes to Lease Renewals, we begin negotiations well in advance to secure the best possible terms, ensuring business continuity and maintaining healthy landlord relationships for long-term stability. Our approach leverages deep market knowledge and seasoned negotiation skills, enhancing your leasing position.

Market Reviews are critical in times of fluctuating commercial rents. Many businesses mistakenly believe they must accept the market rent proposed by their landlords. We use our extensive experience and data to challenge this when necessary, negotiating to ensure your rent remains competitive, thus protecting your financial interests throughout your lease.

In the face of Rent Arrears and Lease Disputes, our team steps in to alleviate the stress these issues can cause. We manage communications with your landlord, establish repayment plans, and resolve disputes through a structured approach that prioritises the best outcome for you while maintaining the integrity of the lease.

For businesses considering Exit Strategies due to evolving needs or other pressures, whether it’s surrendering, assigning, or subleasing your premises, we strategise the best approach to handle negotiations. We also expertly manage the process of early lease termination or finding a replacement tenant, minimising disruption and mitigating loss to support your business’s future.

At Thrive Commercial, your success is our priority. We provide expert advice and unwavering support throughout your commercial leasing journey. Remember, while you can’t choose your landlord, you can choose us to stand by your side as your advocate, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your business.
