A: The "use clause" in a business lease is the critical paragraph/section of a lease that identifies and describes the use for which the tenant may utilize the leased premises. In business lease transactions, "use clauses" are critical and as a business tenant you must insure that the use clause permits the types of goods and/or services offered by your business. Also the use clause should address and include the goods and/or services that you plan to offer in the future. When purchasing a business or franchise it is important to evaluate whether or not the goods and services sold by the seller are consistent with the permitted uses contained in the seller's business lease agreement.
