This has to do with the literal space the business is operating in, which can many times be outgrown within a few years.

This is especially true for businesses that are successful right away. The amount of growth they experience may be something that they’re not used to and space may run out rather quick. That’s why it’s important to have a backup plan in place for businesses that are growing, to ensure that they can meet the demands of the market and add on space if necessary.

Different types of renovations and tenant improvements include:
