Regardless of the permits and age of the building all businesses and commercial properties open to the public are subject to some level of compliance. Tenants and landlords are both jointly and severely responsible for being compliant. Violations are easy to find.

Having a Transition Plan can not only protect your business or property, but will assist you in planning out your future business needs and keeps your money in your property.
