Hi Travelle,
Your story reminded me of the early days when I was exploring my own business opportunities. That mix of excitement and uncertainty is something I know all too well. When I took over a small cleaning service a few years back, my biggest challenge was navigating the fine print in the contract, especially regarding lease terms and operational costs.
A solid document is absolutely crucial, and you’re wise to focus on contingencies like lease negotiations. In my case, reading qualitycontracts.co.uk helped a lot. This material flagged potential pitfalls in my agreement, like maintenance obligations I might have overlooked. The guidance I got saved me from costly errors down the line.
If you’re unsure where to start, you don’t necessarily need an accountant right away, but having someone review your lease and set up basic bookkeeping early on can save headaches. Try to follow my link and read the article too.
