BizLeaseCheck is an AI-powered tool designed to help small business owners navigate the complex and often risky world of commercial leases. Commercial leases are filled with hidden traps, including costly clauses, unlimited personal guarantees, and unexpected obligations. BizLeaseCheck acts as a safeguard by providing an instant analysis of your lease document, helping you identify potential risks before signing.
The product allows users to upload their lease PDF and receive a free 'Danger Score' on a scale of 0-100, which assesses the overall risk level of the lease. This score is accompanied by key red flags, clause citations, and actionable insights. For those looking for more detailed information, a paid version offers a full report, including negotiation tactics, suggested redlines, and an email draft to send to the landlord. The goal is to empower business owners with knowledge so they can negotiate better terms without incurring expensive legal fees.
Users begin by uploading their commercial lease document in PDF format. The AI then processes the document to evaluate its risk profile. A free version provides a Danger Score, top red flags, and clause references. The paid version includes additional features such as detailed negotiation tactics, redline suggestions, and an email template to use during negotiations.
The AI also has a chat feature that allows users to ask specific questions about the lease, such as who is responsible for roof repairs or whether a relocation clause exists. This feature leverages a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) model to provide accurate, cited answers directly from the lease document.
