Role Overview
McGuire Sponsel’s Location Advisory team works diligently to identify and reduce any risks to the client. Risks primarily come in the form of “non-performance” of incentive growth goals. These typically revolve around not achieving target investment and/or job goals as outlined in the initial phases of the incentive project. Most incentives are performance based, meaning that once performance to a set standard is achieved, the client can receive the benefit of incentives. However, if a project does not perform or performs and then reduces incentive goals below expectations, there may be the risk of “clawback” or repayment of the incentive value received to date. Additionally, if a client never performs then there is a risk of not receiving any incentives, which can be detrimental if the project anticipated the incentive value into its pro formas. McGuire Sponsel identifies these potential risks early in our process and advises clients prior to taking next steps that may obligate a client to repayment situations.
