In recent years, several companies have faced increasing challenges when it comes to relocating or modernizing their corporate offices.
In this sense, the search for more modern, corporate and efficient environments is constant, especially in a scenario in which innovation and employee well-being are directly linked to productivity.
However, the requirement of high initial investments (CAPEX) to adapt offices has proven to be a significant barrier for many companies, especially multinationals.
At Ocupantes, we conduct relocation studies for companies seeking high-quality offices. We do this without the need for bureaucratic and costly CAPEX approval.
For many multinationals, however, this approval process can be time-consuming and costly. It involves reporting to headquarters abroad, resulting in the loss of market opportunities.
Often, companies fail to take advantage of more modern, well-located and even more affordable properties because of this obstacle.
The Turnkey model: a smart and efficient solution
In this context, the turnkey lease model has emerged as an innovative and increasingly popular solution.
Unlike traditional lease agreements, in which the lessee is responsible for the fit out and furnishings, the turnkey model offers a ready-to-use corporate environment.
This means that, by opting for this modality, the tenant moves into a space that has already undergone all necessary adaptations. This includes technological infrastructure, design and high-quality finishing.
What benefits do companies have with this model?
This solution offers several benefits to companies, among which the following stand out:
- Reduction or total exemption from the initial investment: by eliminating the need for CAPEX, the turnkey model allows companies to focus their resources on their operations, without diverting significant capital to renovations and adaptations;
- Tax benefit: the amount paid for the rent is considered an operating expense, allowing it to be deducted directly from the calculation basis for Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income (locally known as CSLL). This reduces the tax impact compared to the acquisition of a property, which would require amortization over time. Additionally, since the company is not purchasing the property or bearing the CAPEX cost of renovating the space, it does not need to account for asset depreciation. Instead, the cost is directly allocated as an expense, which can improve cash flow in the short term;
- Financial predictability: with a single monthly rental bill, companies manage costs efficiently. This avoids financial surprises from construction, delays or unforeseen events in office renovations;
- Agility in moving: the process of moving to a turnkey office is considerably faster. Since the space is ready for use, the transition is much smoother, minimizing downtime in operations;
- Tailored customization: turnkey lease agreements, although ready-to-use models, often offer flexibility in customizing the space. This allows the office to be tailored to the company’s specific culture and needs;
- Sustainability: modern turnkey offices are often designed with sustainable solutions, such as energy efficiency, which can also generate savings in the long term.
