Hi, Everyone.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction, I'm at due diligence stage of starting a car valet/car wash business. I am hoping to rent a pitch/car park area from a business that owns and operates a industrial estate. I intend to operate from the car park.

I am confident that I will be able to rent the spot, hopefully should the car wash become successful, I'm worried about any future price hikes in rent. I am a one man band business, and am on low income. Hence, simply cant afford lawyers to go over any tenancy agreement prior to start up.

What clause could I place in the tenancy agreement to prevent huge increases in the future....? I was thinking of the lines of no increase greater than the rate of inflation, but that's just a thought.

Is their any site anyone could point me towards, re: business tenancy advise for start ups...?

Any advice is greatly appreciated :-)

Whilst you can always negotiate on tenancy terms, as the T or licensee you can't "place a clause" as such.

As FFox has suggested you need to prioritise getting legal advice on any agreement - doing so is likely to save you money in the long run.

Google "small business start up advice" and you'll find plenty of relevant sites

You could also speak to anyone who's doing this line of work already, and ask what pitfalls they faced....
