In standard FSP reports, rent sustainability is assessed on two dimensions: Corporate Risk and
Unit Risk.
Corporate Risk
Refers to the level of risk associated with the business overall. For example, HMV may have
been performing well in High Wycombe, but financial vulnerability across the Company has put
the individual store in jeopardy. Corporate Risk is assessed using information from Company
Accounts that is in the public domain and is shown in this example report. Corporate risk can be
assessed only for retailers that file annual accounts at Companies House.
