PARK CITY, Utah — Every year, businesses sign commercial leases that expose them to unexpected construction costs, permitting issues, infrastructure gaps, operational restrictions and expensive obligations that are often discovered too late to negotiate. LeaseLogic was built to help commercial tenants identify those risks before they sign, giving operators, brokers, attorneys and development teams a smarter way to evaluate every deal.
LeaseLogic announced the launch of its real estate operating system for commercial tenants, beginning with the new deal process. The platform connects site due diligence, construction exposure, business terms and lease language into a single workflow, helping deal teams evaluate whether a location truly works before commitments become final.
The platform is currently being deployed with a select group of retail operators and franchisors evaluating live commercial real estate transactions.
After nearly a decade working in institutional real estate, Jeff Merriam saw the same pattern repeat itself and created LeaseLogic.
“Most businesses spend months negotiating a lease without realizing the biggest risks often have nothing to do with rent. By the time those issues are discovered, it is usually too late to negotiate. We wanted to change that,” said Jeff Merriam.
Unlike traditional lease review software, LeaseLogic begins before the letter of intent and evaluates site due diligence, construction exposure, business terms and lease language as one connected decision. The platform helps determine whether a location can be permitted, delivered, built, opened and successfully operated under the terms being negotiated.
LeaseLogic evaluates more than 100 rules and recommends negotiating strategies before legal review. Rather than replacing brokers, attorneys or construction professionals, it gives deal teams a structured starting point while experts focus on strategy and negotiation.
“The goal is not simply to review a lease faster. It is to lower the total cost of completing the deal and help businesses determine whether the location truly works before they commit,” Merriam said.
