Commercial Rental Process

Artspace works with many nonprofits, entrepreneurs and startups. We know that finding the right commercial space can be difficult – especially if it is your first time! That’s why we’ve detailed our commercial application process below. We encourage you to communicate with the leasing manager throughout the process. Questions are always welcome!

  1. When a vacant or upcoming unit is advertised, contact our property management to view the space and/or get more information.
    • If the advertised unit does not fit your needs, you can be placed on the Request to be Notified list. This list enables us to contact you via email when a unit becomes available.
  2. Once your interest is reviewed by property management, you will be asked to fill out a commercial request form. This form asks for basic business information and clarification on how you will use the space.

  3. Artspace will review your commercial request form. The evaluation can take up to three weeks.
    • Depending on the nature and history of your organization, you may be asked for additional documentation, including a business plan, financials, portfolio, etc. to assess the viability of your business taking on the expense of rent.
  4. Once your commercial request is approved, you will be asked to fill out the commercial application and leave a security deposit equal to one month’s rent.
    • The deposit can be paid through credit card, money order or certified check. Credit card fees may apply.
    • There are no application fees. If your application is declined, your full security deposit will be returned.
  5. A business credit check will be run on all business applications. Self-proprietor and new businesses without established credit will require a credit and background check on the Guarantor. This can take up to three weeks to complete depending on the state the credit or the background check is coming from.

  6. If your application is approved: Once your application, credit and financial documentation has been accepted, our Property Management team will be in touch with you on next steps and timeline.
    • If your application is denied: We are happy to discuss with you the reasons for denial. In many cases, you are welcome to apply again in the future for a different unit. If helpful, see the list below for free small business resources.

Resources for small businesses:

    • Utah Small Business Development Center: Provides training, tools, and access to consultants to help business owners succeed in starting, growing and transitioning their businesses. Provides free, confidential consultation and free low-cost training.
    • Inspire In UT: Providing women with the resources they need to succeed in business. Resources include networking, training, funding and employment.
