BANBURY: Property specialist Port@l, has produced a guide to alternative business property acquisitions. 

John Gotley, managing director at Port@l said: "the guide gives overview of the main property choices and compares them with an alternative solution that can help align an organisation's property portfolio to the needs of their business."

The guide illustrates how to bridge the gap that often exists between what landlords and occupiers want, by bundling space, infrastructure and support services into an operational contract, he said. Drawing on a number of real-life case studies, readers can see how large blue chip organisations have solved property dilemmas by achieving flexible and risk averse alternatives to traditional leases and capital purchases.
