Australian Lease Management

23/09/2026

You wouldn't buy a $5 coffee without checking the reviews.

Yet retailers regularly commit to leases worth hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars, without really knowing how the deal compares to the market.

What are others paying? What incentives are being offered? Is the location actually performing?

For too long, retailers have had to make these decisions without the full picture.

That's about to change.

We've spent the past six months rebuilding Lighthouse Insights from the ground up.

A new platform. More intelligence. Better decisions.

We're just weeks away from showing you what we've built.
And I can't wait.

We know it’s been a tough year for some businesses, with "true" retail sales down and costs of doing business mounting up. If you’re finding it hard to keep up with your lease commitments or are unsure about your future, you’re not alone—and we can help.

We’ve put together a helpful blog, “What to Do if You Need Help Mid-Lease,” to guide you through a few steps you can take if you’re feeling the strain and not sure what can be done.

If you’d like to chat about your situation, we’d like to offer a free phone conversation to discuss your concerns, and explore solutions together. Simply call our office on 08 8364 2433.

Remember, reaching out early can make a big difference.

Retail sales in Australia across many sectors struggled in 2024, with businesses facing unprecedented challenges. Insolvency rates continue to soar, and hardship requests from businesses are at an all-time high.

Another year has passed, and what a year it has been. As the holiday season begins, it’s time to slow down, reflect, and enjoy some well-earned relaxation.

This year, we’ve had the privilege of helping so many wonderful clients, from small businesses to large organisations, tackle their unique challenges and opportunities. Through it all, what drives us most is our desire to genuinely care for and support the people we work with.

Merry Christmas 🎄 🧑‍🎄 🎁 and we look forward to seeing you when we are back in the office on Monday 6th January 2025.

Happy Friday!

Today - for no good reason other than we thought it would be fun - the ALM team donned the 'Canadian tuxedo' (also known as double denim!)

Not sure we're seeing a trend re-emerging, but we had fun with it!

With conditions becoming dire for many Australian hospitality businesses, we have seen a sharp increase in the number of business owners seeking our help with negotiating lease terms to allow them to stay afloat.

The key point - don’t leave it until it’s too late.

If you, or someone you know, is running a business and has found that making rent each month is becoming harder and harder, please have them reach out.

We offer a free first phone call to listen to their problem to understand if we can assist them out of a stressful situation.
