Maximise The Profit From Your Telecoms Mast Lease

As a sports club manager, you might have asked yourself how to bring in additional revenue to improve your club, its facilities, equipment, training or other expenses that will benefit the team. In that regard, you might find that the capital needed to invest into your club could actually be unlocked from your telecoms site lease.

As a large-scale telecoms landlord, APWireless is an expert in the field and understands the perspective of a variety of landowners who have a telecoms installations upon their property.

For telecoms site owners, the opportunity to invest capital into the core business and assets is key to APWireless’ partnerships. Other clubs like yours have used the capital lumpsum received from APWireless in different ways such as upgrading the pitch with brand new grass or new floodlights, renovating the clubhouse or installing solar panels. Investing on such upgrades can mean securing a long-term plan for the club. It allows you to plan for the club’s bright future.

Sports clubs and other landowners with a telecoms infrastructure on their property tend to see the collected annual rent as a guaranteed secure and steady income. However due to changes in the legislation that underpins the valuation and associated rents these installations provide, many landlord are reviewing their options in what is a moving landscape.

Ged Martin, UK Director, said: “Our focus is to provide the best solution for all landlords. Due to our size and scale we are willing to invest and partner with Sports Clubs, and create long term relationships that go beyond the initial investment”

Understanding each landlord’s investment plans or potential use for capital payment allows APWireless to come up with the best financial and legal structure; it’s not a “one size fits all” approach.

Andrew Kirby, from Kempston Rovers FC, exemplifies this: “The flexibility on the terms to suit our every need was a proper advantage that we could enjoy.”

In the initial stages of the deal, we wanted to make sure that we were doing business with the right people, that they would fulfill every promise, which they did, as well as working the timescale together.

APWireless gave us the opportunity to capitalise on the mast rental and thus, allowed us to proceed with the projects we had, that is developing and redeveloping our special artificial pitches that we have on our facility.”

When landlords see the possibilities the capital allows, compared to an annual rent income, a transaction almost becomes a no-brainer. APWireless states, “We have always said our transactions are about the opportunity for the landlord to divest an unsecure asset and redeploy it into their core business and assets that they fully own and control.”

Andrew Kirby invites landowners in a similar position to “make their own due diligence, make their own mind up. In our experience, APWireless were the ones to go due to the fairness, flexibility of the terms and their beginning-to-end professionalism. I have had a number of people calling from other football clubs and I always recommend APWireless.”
