The Lease That Almost Killed the Deal

In this episode of The Buyer & Seller Podcast, Lucas and Luna look at a deal that fell apart not over price or valuation, but over a single lease clause. They walk through the true story of a small manufacturing business in Ohio that had a signed letter of intent and a willing buyer, only for the landlord to trigger a clause that gave him the right of first refusal to buy the business himself. The buyer walked. The seller lost six months of time and legal fees. They break down what a 'continuous operation clause' is, why triple-net leases matter in a sale, and how sellers can get a landlord estoppel letter before listing their business. By the end, you will know exactly which lease provisions to flag before you even talk to a broker. #LeaseClauses #BusinessSale #LandlordRightOfFirstRefusal #TripleNetLease #ContinuousOperationClause #EstoppelLetter #SmallBusinessExit #OhioManufacturing #DealBreaker #AssetSale #CommercialLease #PrivateSale #BusinessBroker #ExitPlanning #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #BuyerAndSellerPodcast #LeaseAudit Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
