French term or phrase: fonds de commerce recu en location gérance
We accepted locataire gérant as tenant-manager in En. Now I need help with this whole phrase explaining the "Source of business funds" ... business capital received from?

business operated under lease
Explanation:
The 'fonds de commerce' is neither "business funds" nor "capital" but rather the business itself and the asset value it represents. The lessor leases the business and manages the *business*, not the lease (which is why "lease management" strikes me as a poor translation of 'location gérance').
