For retail and hospitality businesses operating under turnover-based leases, a turnover certificate is a key part of managing landlord relationships, with landlords often requiring independent confirmation that the turnover figure has been calculated correctly in line with the terms of the lease. Having a clear, structured turnover certificates engagement in place ensures your lease obligations are met with confidence.
