HOLLYWOOD, FL-CORFAC International has inked a strategic alliance with Irvine, CA-based The RSH Group. The deal gives the non-profit association of commercial real estate firms access to financial and tax advisory services specific that aim to improve fiscal performance on existing facilities, expansions, consolidations, dispositions, and relocations.

Founded by Jim Renzas, former practice leader of the Incentives & Credits Practice at Arthur Andersen and KPMG, and John Schuetz, former corporate general manager and vice president of marketing for Ford Motor Company, Kia and Daewoo Motors, The RHS Group brings 30-plus years of experience to CORFAC clients.

“Our alliance with RSH will help make good decisions better,” Owen Rouse, Jr., 2010
CORFAC International president, tells GlobeSt.com. “When we are talking to a client and you reach the edge of your knowledge, RHS can help us fill the information gap. RHS has radar that’s tuned different than ours, and that will help our clients.”

One area Rouse is betting RSH can help CORFAC clients is through site selection and incentive negotiations. RSH accesses financial incentives by negotiating with government and utility agencies. Incentives can provide substantial capital—from $10,000’s to $10,000,000’s—through tax credits and abatements, fee waivers, relocation reimbursements, hiring credits, and energy savings.
