A Detailed Henry Stewart Briefing
Latest Developments in Property Outsourcing

Property outsourcing is once again back on the agenda – increasingly the prevailing view is that OPERATIONAL BUSINESSES should not own property.

So - this briefing is about how best to structure agreements to outsource property requirements. Every business has its special requirements but there are underlying principles. THIS BRIEFING COVERS BOTH. And in a typical Henry Stewart fashion it addresses the issues in a practical way – ensuring delegates get to grips with both the problems AND the opportunities. The issues are explained, solutions are discussed, real world case studies are examined and the detail of documentation structuring the arrangements are disclosed.

The briefing covers:

  • The advantages (and disadvantages) of outsourcing (to the outsourcer)
  • Who is on the other side of the arrangement, why the outsourcee is there and what is so good about the arrangement for them
  • Alternative strategic approaches to implementation
  • What the documentation looks like – problem provisions to watch for
  • Rationalisation and dealing with property surplus to requirements
  • Consequences for shareholder value, ‘real’ bottom line profits and return on capital
  • Implications for borrowing strategies and covenant strength
  • Implications for reported results, the P&L account and the balance sheet
  • How the coming of REITs affects what will be possible
  • Understanding all the implications for tax

For all Corporate Real Estate Executives, Premises and Facilities Managers, Landlords, Property Managers, Agents and Service Providers.

Full documentation will be provided to all delegates and adequate time set aside for questions.
