If you are looking for an office, a storefront or a commercial location suitable for liberal professions, MR Agency Real Estate can assist you in all aspects of renting a commercial lease or acquiring a target property via a purchase.
Two types of lease are possible in France, a commercial lease for a period of 3, 6 or 9 years and a derogatory lease for a shorter period. A commercial lease is a rental contract for premises in which a commercial, industrial or craftsmenship activity is carried out, for example for a showroom or a boutique. The premises must be used to operate a specific business activity “fonds de commerce” , which is sometimes sold separately by the previous tenant. With a commercial lease, the tenant benefits from either an automatic lease renewal or if the owner wants to terminate, an eviction indemnity.
A derogatory lease is a short-term rental contract, up to 24 months maximum. In this case, the lessor and the lessee are not obliged to commit themselves for a long period. This lease is not subject to the same applicable rules as a commercial lease, so the tenant does not have the right to renew.

In France, the process of renting a commercial space can sometimes be long as for to make an actual purchase. A large number of documents are required for this process, which can become complex as a foreign company.
Some of the key factors within a commercial lease are the type of activity, duration and price. Making sure that the premises are suitable for your activity and that your activity is legally authorized by the building is handed by MR Agency. The minimum legal duration of a commercial lease is 3 years and renews for 3 year periods, meaning that you can only cancel before each 3 year anniversary date. The rent agreed between the two parties is also revised every three, six and nine years according to the evolution of the French commercial rent index (ILC) or the tertiary activities index (ILAT). The latter is freely determined by the parties. A commercial lease may also include an automatic annual indexation clause but also an entrance fee called the “key money” which is freely fixed by the parties and is not reimbursed by the owner-lessor at the end of the commercial lease. Finally, the purchase of a commercial property can be made by an individual, or a corporate legal entity such as a SCI, SAS, SARL.
