Episode 11: Whoops, It Can Happen to You: Negotiating Additional Space

In this installment of “Whoops, It Can Happen to You,” Art and Antonis unpack a scenario that applies directly to veterinarians in leased medical spaces. A provider attempted to finalize a small expansion—only to miss major implications tied to lease term extensions, renovation opportunities, and long-term assignment rights that affect eventual practice exit or sale.
This episode highlights why expanding your practice is never just about square footage. It impacts leverage, build-out funding, contract structure, and the financial health of your practice for years to come. The conversation underscores the importance of involving a real-estate professional early and approaching any facility change as a full-picture negotiation.
