Should a manager guarantee revenue?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

Treat a claimed guarantee as a contractual provision requiring careful evaluation, not proof of future performance. Ask about definitions, exclusions, conditions, duration, payment responsibility, and remedies. Review it with appropriate professional advice.

Historical results and estimates are different from enforceable commitments. Model the property independently and avoid relying on promotional wording to replace downside planning.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
