Corporate Users
Working closely with members of the executive team and/or corporate real estate director, Springboard acts as an outsourced real estate department for our corporate clients. We’re able to provide cost avoidance amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars every year in compensation not paid to a full-time, in-house CRE team. We provide the full scope of services required to professionally manage the corporate portfolio of locations. We’re also able to augment a company’s existing real estate team by providing services on an as-needed basis. We’re flexible and nimble and able to recommend a variety of options in order to provide a custom tailored solution to service our clients’ needs.
Franchisor Support Services
Many franchisors provide a full array of support services to their franchisees while others don’t provide much at all beyond the tools to execute the concept. Corporate real estate services are the lifeblood of a franchise. Managed correctly it allows an enterprise to thrive; mismanaged it sets the table for failure. We set up franchisees for success by expertly managing the most crucial aspect of their investment; the real estate. Franchisors understand that the overall success of their brand hinges on their franchisees making smart real estate deals. Most franchisees are not commercial real estate experts. So, we take the time to educate them on the process and help them avoid the pitfalls that doom so many new business ventures. Let Springboard launch your concept and franchise partners towards success.
Multi-Unit Operators
Individual franchisee groups can depend on Springboard to support their real estate operations anywhere in the world. We can help a multi-unit operator expand their footprint from three locations to 30 or from 30 to 300 and beyond. Using our “outside leverage” across different markets affords operators the negotiating strength they might not otherwise enjoy when attempting to execute a single transaction. Since corporate real estate is our core business, we have the tools, resources and expertise to deploy on behalf of our clients.
