Your business deserves more than square footage—it needs a location that attracts customers, fuels growth, and strengthens your brand’s presence.

But finding a shop space for lease in Calgary? ‍It’s a maze of outdated listings, hidden fees, and lease agreements that secretly favor landlords. The wrong lease can quietly drain your business.

The Way Business
Leasing Should Be

Most leasing agents get paid by landlords, which means the higher YOUR rent, the more THEY earn.

Say what?!
‍
They aren’t motivated to negotiate fiercely for you—because they make more when you pay more. We think that’s backwards.

We do things differently

Our flat fee means we work to save YOU as much as possible.

We fight for lower rent, better terms, and hidden savings.

We level the playing field for small businesses, ensuring you get the right space at the right terms.

    Our Philosophy

    Measure twice cut once.

    Get your business set up in the right space, the first time around. If it’s a bad deal, we don’t want it. 🫸 Brick and mortar is not dead btw, but the space you do get needs to be strategic.

    Trust us, we’re known for finding hidden gems and our space-success spidey-senses are finely tuned to catch what you won’t: like City of Calgary zoning or foottraffic-nixing upcoming construction.

    Nothing makes us happier than your business success—being part of your first steps makes it even sweeter.
