Buying or Leasing Your Business Premises

With Vision – comes sound decisions

Running a business gives you very limited time to source new premises. When you need to relocate, we'll discuss what your business requires from size, features, locations and type. 

 

From this point on we remove the time constraints and stress by handling the entire buying or leasing process.

Within days of discussing your requirements, we'll undertake research and liaise with our networks in order to scope the market and present you with a selection of opportunities. As well as assessing on marketing opportunities we'll work with our contacts to identify off market opportunities or future opportunities which aren't available today, however will be at the time required by your business.

We'll handle all aspects with the vendor or agent, including inspections, assessments, discussions and negotiations, leaving you to focus your energy and attention on running your business.

If you are looking to lease a premises it's important to realise that leases can be very complex and are often slanted heavily in favour of your landlord. As your tenant representative, we negotiate everything from rental rates and incentives to annual reviews and favourable terms on your new business location. We can also assist with the facilitation of your fit out.

If you are looking to purchase your premises, being successful with purchasing a property is more than price. The commercial market is all about connections, knowledge and experience. Prosper Group provides these attributes to their clients, giving them an advantage and enabling their clients to get ahead of other buyers in the market.

Once the right property has been identified and negotiated a robust due diligence analysis is conducted as part of our service to ensure there are no unexpected costs or risks. This due diligence covers:

  • Tenancy analysis (if the property is tenanted or partially tenanted)
  • Lease analysis (if the property is tenanted or partially tenanted)
  • Financial analysis; including rental income and outgoings
  • Sales and leasing analysis
  • Property functionality; i.e. future potential uses and opportunities
  • Building condition
  • Capital expenditure (CAPEX) requirements
  • BCA compliance
  • Town Planning
     

Prosper Group will give your business the attention it needs to find the right premises that continually supports your business growth.

Robust Due Diligence – with vision

Our Process

Realistic and achievable but always aspirational, our process gets results. 

Consultation

We start with discussing your goals and objectives for your desired business premises. This can include understanding your financial situation, size of tenancy, size of premises, business requirement and any specific need you have with this premise. Our team would also use this stage to understand your current situation and identify any gaps or areas of opportunity.

Evaluation

After a thorough market analysis for opportunities we handle all aspects of the evaluation process, including inspections, assessments, discussions and negotiations with vendors or agents.

Negotiation

Whether lease or purchase, we negotiate the financial components of the transaction, incentives and favourable terms on your behalf. We use our connections, knowledge, and experience to negotiate the best deal for you.

Due Diligence 

Once the right property has been identified and negotiated, we conduct a robust due diligence analysis. This includes a tenancy and lease analysis (if applicable), financial analysis, sales and leasing analysis, property functionality analysis, building condition analysis, and compliance analysis to ensure there are no unexpected costs or risks.

Partnerships

Our service doesn't stop once you exchanged contracts or signed a lease. We can assist with the facilitation of your fit-out and provide ongoing support to ensure your business continues to thrive in your new location.

Mascot, NSW 

The Country Women’s Association of New South Wales formed a relationship with Prosper Group in 2013 to assist with its future accommodation strategy. This included the sale of its long held premises in Potts Point and the subsequent search and purchase of a new property.

The Prosper team provided valuable advice to the Property Sub-Committee over the process and their knowledge and insight into the market was second to none. They were very professional in their approach and at times went out of their way to provide additional assistance.

Subsequent to the purchase of our new State office, we then engaged Prosper to source a residential investment property. Again their expertise and professionalism ensured an excellent outcome for our organisation.

In addition, we are now utilising Prosper’s Commercial Property Asset Management services to manage our newly acquired site.

We would not hesitate to recommend Prosper Group to our business associates. Read More

Parramatta, NSW 

During 2011-12 I commissioned Prosper Group to find a multi-tenant commercial building for investment. Following many months of patient search and negotiation I eventually bought an attractive property with long term future development upside in October 2009. Detailed and patient due diligence process assured me it would be a good medium-long term hold. Proper Group managed all aspects of the purchase, management and subsequent sale.

During the next few years the boom of conversion of commercial sites to residential apartments rapidly grew.  After many unsolicited enquiries and offers we decided to openly market the site. This was handled very well by Prosper and Ray White Commercial resulted in my accepting a very attractive offer December 2014 with delayed settlement February 2016.

Also in late 2012 through Prosper Group I bought another multi-tenant Commercial property with the same objective and criteria.  Planning changes in the area have created significant capital gain that will be realised in 3-4 years.

In April 2009 Prosper Group also assisted me in buying a large single tenant industrial building that has been an excellent stable, simple well performing investment. Read More

Having outgrown an existing location, we (Kennards Hire) decided to look into the option of relocating that branch.

Prosper Group showed their professionalism and expertise throughout the whole process, making the job very easy for me.

I will recommend their services to anyone looking to purchase a property and will continue to use them in the future.  Thanks for your help.

Prosper Group found us an off market commercial investment property, which meant that we didn’t have the pressure of competing against other buyers to secure the property. The transaction was handled in a very professional way from negotiations through to a successful settlement, keeping us informed at every stage of the process.

Even when a few challenges arose during the transaction their knowledge and expertise allowed us to make informed decisions on important issues.

We were very happy with the acquisition service that Prosper Group provided and now have them as our asset manager to assist us in obtaining the best long term value out of this property. Read More

Prosper Group assisted us in purchasing an investment property in Gosford. They handled the transaction in a very professional way from negotiations through to a completion, and they kept us informed at every stage of the process.  The fact that Prosper Group handled all aspects of the transaction and were available at any time meant that we were only required to put in a minimum amount of time and effort, which helped us stay focussed on our own day to day activities.

Prosper Group’s acquisition service provided us with the peace of mind that the property we purchased is a good long term investment, and we have also engaged Prosper Group’s asset management term to assist us in obtaining the best long term value out of this property. Read More

Mermaid Beach, QLD 

Running a busy practice leaves me little time to look for property, I engaged Prosper Group to source and negotiate a commercial investment property for me. They negotiated an outstanding deal for me – almost 19% off the purchase price. They did extensive due diligence ensuring the property met my criteria. The final property we selected was in an area council designated to modernise and add additional infrastructure.

The property was purchased on a net yield of 8.91%.

12 months later nearly to the day council actually offered me $200,000 more than what I paid for the property. I asked Prosper Group for their input and to my delight they negotiated an extra $600,000 for me. Read More

We thank Prosper Group for their diligent and professional approach in assisting us with purchasing a commercial investment property. Prosper Group really helped guide us through the ups and downs of finding, negotiating, analysing and successfully purchasing an investment that satisfied our requirements.

Prosper Group’s experience and expertise kept us ahead of the market and helped us be competitive in a strong market. They also provided us with a diversified search covering all of NSW and QLD which ultimately led us to buy a property in Brisbane when we were originally only considering Sydney and the Newcastle region. Although this was a new market for us Prosper Group made us feel comfortable with the area and the property and we achieved a better result than the properties we were considering in Sydney.

We valued and enjoyed the education on industrial properties throughout the search, and appreciated the market background intelligence so as we could reassess our strategy in moving market conditions.

We are happy to have Prosper Group as our property adviser and asset manager. Read More

I would like to thank Prosper Group for their expert help in finding a business location for our growing business.

As anyone in small business realises time is hard to come by, Prosper Group found the potential properties, narrowed them down and then in one day only for me we selected the right property.

Prosper Group then negotiated the deal all with little effort and time from myself.

I have no hesitation in recommending Prosper Group; they will save you time and money and also offer friendly advice. Read More

I originally engaged Prosper Group to conduct due diligence and negotiate the purchase price of a property I had located to use as a surgery. Their due diligence identified a major issue with access to the car park at the rear of the property and unfortunately a solution was not possible. Based on Prosper Group’s advice, I withdrew from the purchase of the property.

Since then I have used Prosper Group to assist with other property matters relating to my business, including making off market offers on properties suitable for surgeries. I am also in the process of engaging them to source a residential investment property.

Over the eight months that we have been working together, I have found Prosper Group to be very knowledgeable, professional and thorough in their approach, as well as great value for money. I have the confidence to leave the process to them, allowing me to focus on my patients and the business. Read More

Testimonial from J.B.
J.B.  
Company Director & investor 

I wanted to invest in a commercial property, but as I live in Adelaide there was no way I could commit the time to the research and negotiation. Once I contacted Prosper Group, Alex and the team around the country set about establishing a short-list of potential properties to begin the due diligence process.

Together we rejected the properties that didn’t meet the strict checklist we created together. Eventually, we settled on an excellent retail complex in inner-city Brisbane.

Prosper Group’s negotiation skills reduced the price from $1,500,000 to $1,175,000. I saved much more at purchase than it cost me to engage Prosper Group to complete the transaction.

The property, which is zoned for further development, was purchased on a net yield of 12.65%. Seven months later, it was re-valued at $1,485,000. The property is now returning a high yield with stable long term tenants.

I am very impressed with Prosper Group’s method of selection, their support team – including solicitors – their management and their process from start to finish. Their attention to detail is second to none and they will not push anything through until all of the buyer’s requirements are satisfied.

I can highly recommend Prosper Group. We are currently in the process of finalising another commercial deal and I look forward to building a large portfolio of properties with their assistance over the ensuing years. Read More
