City of Vincent delivers real estate sector ‘first’
In many local government authorities, compliance officers spend time dealing with applications in which a small business has signed a lease agreement before contacting staff to discuss if the premise is fit for purpose.
Unfortunately, applicants sometimes find that in order to meet regulatory requirements, they face unanticipated costs and extended approval delays to make the changes they desire to their new business premises. It can be a source of frustration for these small business owners, especially if the leasing agent hasn’t informed them about local government approval processes.
During the SBDC’s delivery of the Small Business Friendly Approvals Program, 35 per cent of participating local governments identified the need to engage with real estate professionals on this challenge, to help them guide small business clients to speak with their local government authority about desired changes at a property, before signing a lease.
