Using data to drive research, combined with physical investigations of the trade area, the Accubranch team identifies and sorts all potential branch locations by rank based on your organization’s requirements. Notably, they will include sites with high potential that are not currently offered on the market, with a view to negotiating a lease or purchase arrangement.

The client’s identity is never revealed to landlords or sellers and they’re kept well informed throughout the entire lease or purchase process. This way, the client’s financial interests are protected, and can make timely lease or buy decisions.
