When you are buying a business, it is vital that you fully understand what you are getting into before you sign the purchase of business contract and pay a deposit.

In Australia, the legislation which governs retail leases differs from state to state.

The key difference between a “commercial lease” and a “retail lease” is that a commercial lease is not governed by the applicable retail shop legislations and the terms of the lease are fully determined by the agreement between the landlord and the tenant. This means the tenant may not enjoy the same rights and protections prescribed under the retail shop legislations as in a retail lease.
