Find an operatorfor your venue.
Rivermark helps owners find operators for land, buildings and host sites.
How we help.
We identify operator formats that could suit your property, prepare a factual summary and approach an agreed list. Existing agents, shared facilities and any limits on disclosure are discussed with you first.
Sell, let or find an occupierWhat matters at the property.
- Owner authority, occupation and any sole or joint agency instruction.
- Current planning use, conditions and physical format.
- Fit-out works the property can accept and who would fund them.
- Lease length, rent structure, rent-free period and security package the owner is prepared to discuss.
- Evidence the landlord wants from an operator before heads of terms.
- Shared access, parking, servicing, noise and operating-hour effects.
- Property details that can be disclosed before the operator is named.
What Rivermark checks
- A concise landlord-approved property summary.
- Plans, services, condition and access information.

- How the property could suit each operator approached.
- Approaches made, response and next action.
More on the property requirements
An operator search should begin with the building, not a long brand list. Height, access, services, neighbours, planning, fit-out burden and lease term decide which formats can make a credible proposal.
Rivermark defines those constraints with the landlord, accounts for any existing agency instruction and approaches a short list with an accurate property summary. For host venues, the conversation also covers shared parking, customer peaks and who controls the wider site.
- A sector label does not show that an operator can fund or run the proposed use.
- Premature contact can cut across an instructed agent or reveal a confidential plan.
- Fit-out burden can outweigh a headline rent advantage.

Common questions.
Can you work beside an existing agent?
Sometimes. Rivermark reviews the instruction first and agrees a separate operator-search role that does not duplicate or cut across the agent's work.
How many operators do you approach?
The number follows from the property and agreed format. A short, reasoned list is more credible than a mass email.
Do you assess covenant strength?
Rivermark can collect the information the landlord requests, but financial and covenant judgement remains with the landlord and its advisers.
