When you have completed your own business plan, we will provide you with our assessment of the Fair Maintainable Trade (FMT) and publican profit for the pub, using our estimates of the performance of the business that might be achieved by a reasonably efficient operator (Pub Business Assessment).
Our assessment is provided for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate how we have arrived at our opinion of the rent that is appropriate for the pub. It is not under any circumstances a guarantee of potential profit.
We use the widely recognised, industry standard, valuation methods and follow the guidance published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), including any updates or amendments as may be published from time to time.
We will disclose any benchmark information that we have used to arrive at our assessment of the appropriate level of costs in our appraisal of Fair Maintainable Trade and resulting publican profit.
The Pub Business Assessment also shows you the options that may be available for your selected pub, depending on the agreement that we are proposing. These options may, for example, allow you to select a greater level of barrelage discount, in which case there will be a corresponding increase in the rent you will pay.
You may also wish to consider tie release options for any, or all, of the below:
- wines
- spirits
- minerals
- packaged beers
- packaged ciders
- packaged FABs
- gaming machines (if available)
You may also opt for a guest ale concession which will enable you to procure cask ales from members of the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) for dispense through one SIBA-supplied and maintained beer engine.
