JTC Partnership Referral Program Singapore

JTC is Singapore’s industrial master planner and developer. Companies occupying, purchasing, transferring, renewing or applying for certain Singapore industrial properties may need to satisfy JTC’s operational, investment, employment, land-use and regulatory requirements.

A JTC consultancy referral occurs when a property agent, business adviser or professional partner introduces a client to AFM for specialised assistance with a JTC-related application or industrial property matter.

AFM manages the regulatory and business-plan work while the referring partner continues to manage its own professional relationship and transaction scope.

The program is intended for eligible:

• Industrial property agents

• Commercial real estate brokers

• Business and management consultants

• Corporate service providers

• Valuers and industrial property advisers

• Project, engineering and construction consultants

• Investment and corporate advisory professionals

• Overseas business advisers assisting companies entering Singapore

• Other professional partners whose clients require JTC-related assistance

An overseas adviser may refer a company requiring assistance with a Singapore industrial property or JTC application, even when the referring partner or client is based outside Singapore.

Participation and payment of referral fees remain subject to applicable laws, professional rules, employer policies and AFM’s written referral terms. Regulated professionals should confirm that participation is permitted by their applicable professional obligations.

Subject to prior written acceptance, an eligible referring partner may receive 10% of the consultancy fee collected by AFM for a successful referred engagement.

The referral arrangement, qualifying engagement and applicable payment conditions will be confirmed in writing before the referral proceeds.

The referral fee is separate from the property agent’s sales, purchase or leasing commission. AFM does not claim or share the referring agent’s property transaction commission.

1. Introduce the Client

• Contact AFM and provide a brief description of the client’s company, property and JTC-related requirement.

• Please obtain the client’s consent before sharing personal, financial or confidential business information.

2. AFM Conducts an Initial Eligibility Review

• AFM reviews the proposed matter, identifies the likely JTC requirements and determines whether the engagement is suitable for our consultancy services.

• Where the available information indicates that an application is unlikely to satisfy the relevant requirements, we will advise the parties candidly before proceeding.

3. Scope and Referral Terms Are Confirmed

• AFM confirms the proposed consultancy scope directly with the client. The referring partner’s details and the applicable referral arrangement are recorded in writing.

4. AFM Manages the JTC Consultancy Work

• AFM prepares and coordinates the relevant submission, business plan, operational justification, financial analysis and supporting documents.

5. Referral Fee Becomes Payable

Where the agreed successful outcome is achieved and AFM receives its corresponding consultancy fee, the referral fee is handled in accordance with the written referral terms.

JTC Lease Renewal

• A JTC lease renewal application generally requires the existing lessee to justify its continued need for the industrial site and the further lease term requested.

• AFM assists with business plans, historical investments, projected capital expenditure, employment profiles, value-add calculations, operational requirements and the company’s future economic contribution in Singapore.

JTC Assignment of Lease

• A JTC assignment of lease involves transferring the remaining leasehold interest in a JTC industrial property from the existing lessee to an incoming buyer or assignee, subject to JTC’s prior approval.

• AFM assists with incoming-buyer eligibility, proposed activities, space utilisation, investment plans, business-plan preparation and assignment-related compliance matters.

JTC Anchor Tenant Application

• A JTC anchor tenant application may be required when a company intends to become the principal approved occupier within a JTC industrial development.

• AFM assists with operational justification, occupancy requirements, space-use planning, employment projections, investment commitments and the supporting business plan.

JTC Industrial Land Tender

• AFM provides JTC industrial land tender advisory for companies considering price tenders or concept-and-price tenders under Singapore’s industrial land allocation framework.

• Our work may include site suitability assessment, project assumptions, tender positioning, operational planning, investment justification and bid-risk analysis.

JTC Standard Factory Tender

• AFM assists companies applying for JTC standard factory units, including the assessment of operational suitability, allowable use, space requirements, floor loading, power requirements and tender submission considerations.

Industrial Property Value Maximisation and Capital Advisory

• Selected referrals may also involve industrial property value maximisation, redevelopment assessment, sale-and-leaseback planning, end-user acquisition structures, build-to-suit facilities or capital advisory for Singapore industrial assets.

All referred matters remain subject to AFM’s preliminary assessment and written acceptance.

For complex JTC applications, AFM generally prepares a business plan of approximately 80 to 120 pages.

The actual length depends on the application type, the complexity of the company’s operations, the available supporting information and the level of justification required.

• A comprehensive JTC business plan may include:

• Company and group background

• Existing and proposed Singapore operations

• Products, services and production processes

• Market, customer and competitor analysis

• Historical and projected financial performance

• Employment and remuneration projections

• Fixed asset and plant-and-machinery investment

• Value-add and economic contribution

• Space-use and operational requirements

• Sustainability and productivity initiatives

• Implementation schedule

• Supporting financial and operational evidence

Protect Your Client Relationship and Commission

• A delayed, incomplete or unsuitable JTC application can affect an industrial property transaction.

• AFM manages the specialised JTC submission work while the referring agent remains responsible for the property transaction. This helps protect the agent’s client relationship and property commission.

No Property Agency Conflict

• AFM does not engage in property sales or rental agency work.

• Our role is limited to JTC consultancy, regulatory submissions, business-plan preparation and industrial property advisory, reducing the possibility of competition with the referring partner.

Success-Based Consultancy

• For eligible engagements agreed on a success-based basis, AFM’s consultancy fee becomes payable only when the successful outcome defined in the engagement terms is achieved.

• This is commonly described as a No Approval, No Fee arrangement. The exact approval condition, scope and fee terms are confirmed in writing with the client.

Established JTC Submission Experience

Since 2011, AFM has supported companies across manufacturing, engineering, food production, logistics, marine, construction and other industrial sectors.

AFM has managed more than 150 successful submissions involving over S$1.5 billion in industrial assets, serving listed companies, multinational corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises.

Candid Preliminary Assessment

• AFM does not accept every proposed application.

• Where the available facts indicate that the project is unlikely to meet the relevant JTC requirements, we will advise the referring partner and client before a formal engagement proceeds.

Participation in the referral program is not automatic. All referrals are subject to AFM’s preliminary assessment, prior written acceptance and applicable referral terms.

Referral fees are not payable where payment would breach any applicable law, professional rule, employment policy, contractual obligation or ethical requirement.

The referral arrangement does not guarantee approval by JTC or any other authority. Each application is assessed according to its own facts, supporting evidence and the requirements applicable at the time of submission.
