Percentage Rent

Rent, computed as a percentage of retail sales above a breakpoint, paid by tenants under typical retail leases. Usually paid instead of or in addition to a specified minimum base rent; commonly used for large retail stores. Rent payments include a minimum or “base rent” plus a percentage of the gross sales “overage.” Percentages generally vary from 1% to 6% of the gross sales depending on the type of store and sales volume. Overage rent is percentage rent paid over and above the guaranteed minimum rent or base rent; calculated as a percentage of sales in excess of specified breakeven sales volume.

Fernando and Leanne are Amazing

Fernando and Leanne are amazing. I had many small businesses that need refinancing over the years. I have met many Brokers and there is always a catch. ALWAYS!… Use them! Once you do you will work with them forever

She Took Care of All My Needs

If you searching for a great experience Commercial Loan Direct is the place. Leanne took care of me and honestly had the greatest experience. She handled all of my needs in a smooth and timely manner listened and addressed any concerns I had about the process and was very patient. I can be quite a handful at times and Leanne was so professional and kind hearted. I'd 100% recommend this company. Thank you again.
