The Hayes approach

Begin with the space you are responsible for.

A food or drink business has practical insurance questions long before it has a set of quotes. The lease is a useful place to find them.

Taking over a kitchen starts with an inventory.

If you take over a fitted restaurant in San Francisco, walk through the fixtures against the new lease. Mark which appliances transfer to you and which belong to the landlord, then record anything you plan to remove or replace. That inventory gives the property review an actual starting point before a different menu or service arrangement changes the space again.

The documents should describe the same business.

A lease, an application and a property schedule can drift apart as a business changes. A review brings those descriptions together: the space occupied, the equipment used and the activities carried out. Differences become questions for the submission.

A comparison should show what needs attention.

The price matters, but so do exclusions and conditions. Reading options against the account makes it easier to identify an unresolved requirement, a limitation worth discussing or an assumption that needs correction.

Choose a time to review the account.
