Why Use a Licence to Occupy Instead of a Commercial Lease?

• Greater flexibility for short-term occupancy.
• Easier management of rotating occupants.
• Shared access to common business facilities.
• Simplified administration for coworking operations.
• Reduced long-term leasing commitments.

This type of agreement is frequently used by coworking operators and business incubators that provide furnished offices and shared amenities.
