@Gurjeet Brar You should sign the lease in a way that indicates you are acting as an agent or authorized representative for the business, not as an individual. For example;

Paws & Claws Properties, LLC
By: __________________________
Jason Jesse, Manager

Signing like this indicates the LLC is the one entering the agreement, and you're simply the person (manager) executing it.
