Renting commercial space in Singapore
Approved use decides whether your business can legally operate in a unit. Zoning is set by URA or JTC, and F&B, childcare, medical, and light industrial uses each carry their own conditions. A change of use requires approval and is not always granted, so confirm the permitted use before you negotiate.
Commercial rent is usually quoted per square foot per month and is exclusive of GST, service charge, and utilities. Ask for the full occupancy cost, not the headline rent, when comparing units.
Fit-out condition drives your capital outlay. A bare unit needs a full fit-out and a longer rent-free period to build it, while a fitted unit lets you open sooner but may not match your layout. Rent-free fitting-out periods are negotiable and usually run one to two months.
Security deposits on commercial leases are typically three months of gross rent, and landlords often ask for a bank guarantee from newer companies. Industrial space under JTC carries additional tenant eligibility conditions.

Common questions
Is GST charged on commercial rent?
Yes, where the landlord is GST-registered. Quoted rents for commercial space are normally exclusive of GST, service charge, and utilities.
What deposit is standard for a commercial lease?
Three months of gross rent is the common convention, though it varies with the tenant’s covenant strength. Landlords may accept or require a bank guarantee instead.
What is a rent-free fitting-out period?
A period at the start of the lease during which no rent is payable while the tenant builds out the space. One to two months is typical and it is negotiated with the landlord.
Can I run any business in a commercial unit?
No. Only activities within the unit’s approved use are permitted. Operating outside it requires a change of use application to URA or JTC.
