Balancing the whole needs of the business with the expectations of shareholders is a formidable challenge for all corporates. With smart structuring, your property assets can be used to achieve that balance. Jones Lang LaSalle’s corporate capital markets team not only provides strategic and smart financial advice, but executes opportunities that can maximise the value of real estate to your business – keeping shareholders happy and giving your business the flexibility to respond to change.
 
Our pan-European team is drawn from accounting, property and banking backgrounds, so we understand both the financial and practical implications of our advice. We use a clear methodology to meet and reconcile your business objectives, whether they are to minimise cost, maximise flexibility or achieve the best use of your capital. First, we build an understanding of what you’re trying to achieve. Next, we use our in-depth knowledge of the market to identify your options and rigorously analyse them, looking at how they’ll affect your balance sheet, tax implications and risks and ease of delivery. Then we build solid business cases to take to senior management for approval, so that everyone knows the costs and benefits. Finally, we execute the transaction, managing the process throughout.
 
Whether you need to raise capital, increase flexibility or dispose of surplus properties, our expertise, experience and execution skills let you use your real estate to achieve your ambitions.
