Working a deal where client will be buying out existing QSR. Should I ask for a fee on the buyout?
Working a deal where my client is going to be buying out an existing QSR and pursue a GL with LL. 

Assuming they accept our offer, should I ask for a commission on the buyout?

The existing QSR is the one getting paid to leave, so they\u2019d be the one to paid commission on the sale. Good luck getting that.
