Joint Venture Developments

In addition to spreading risk, the key benefit of joint venturing is the pooling of the resources and knowledge of each member of the group. For our part, our knowledge and experience makes for a solid base for any venture.

Dependant entirely on the size and scope of the venture, we work closely with and/or your business partners to ultimately achieve the best return on your investment. Such size and scope depends upon the kind of investor you are and to what level of involvement you wish to undertake.

Joint Venture Investment profiles fall within the following categories:

IP Joint Venture
Straight Joint Venture
Limited Liability Partnerships

Feasibility Studies

When considering a development project, a property feasibility study is often a minimum requirement. At Handshake our understanding of valuation, planning and the activity in both local and international markets, ensures that we provide you with an accurate, robust and commercially sound report.

The study is a thorough and objective assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of a proposed venture, including the resources required, the opportunities it presents, as well as any threats, and its prospects of success. Such a professional feasibility study will analyse the costs and the potential value of your project.

Research the opportunity or problem
Assess the requirements for a solution
Identify the alternative solutions available
Review each solution to determine its feasibility
List any risks and issues with each solution
