One of the early steps when starting a practice is finding office space and signing a lease. Some NPs want to lease an entire suite, while others are looking to rent one exam room. Either one is fine, but finding space involves signing a commercial lease. While virtually everyone has signed a personal lease agreement, few have experience with signing a commercial lease.
