Renting out Food & Beverage (F&B) space in Singapore requires verifying technical provisions and regulatory permissions early, as F&B operators evaluate fit-out feasibility before committing.

### 1. Essential M&E Technical Provisions Operators Check

* **Kitchen Exhaust & Ducting:** State if your unit has an existing dedicated exhaust duct (with airflow capacity in cubic metres/hour or CFM) terminating at the roof, or if only recirculating/grease-filter hoods are permitted.
* **Electrical Load:** Typical F&B spaces demand **60A to 100A 3-phase** (heavy cooking) or **32A to 63A single/3-phase** (café/dessert/light dining).
* **Grease Trap & Floor Traps:** State whether an in-unit grease trap or centralized building grease interceptor is connected.
* **Town Gas / LPG vs. Induction:** Indicate if piped town gas is available or if operations are limited to induction/electric equipment.
* **Water Points & Drainage:** Floor traps and dedicated incoming water connections for sinks, dishwashers, and food prep.

### 2. Regulatory & Planning Approvals

* **URA Written Permission / Change of Use:** Ensure the space has valid URA approval for **Restaurant, Café, or Takeaway Food Shop** (Class 1 / Class 2 F&B use).
* **SFA Food Shop Licensing:** Prospective operators need your building’s Fire Safety Certificate (FSC) and tenancy agreement to apply for their Singapore Food Agency (SFA) food shop licence.
* **Outdoor Refreshment Area (ORA):** If the unit has an alfresco or walkway frontage, note whether an approved ORA is included.

### 3. Commercial Lease Structuring

* **Standard Lease Terms:** 3-year term (with an option to renew for another 3 years).
* **Rental Structure:** Fixed base rent (e.g., S$12–S$25+ psf depending on footfall) or base rent plus a Turnover Rent / Gross Turnover (GTO) component (typically 1% to 2% of monthly revenue).
* **Fitting-Out Period:** Standard 1 to 2 months rent-free for fit-out and SFA licensing inspections.
* **Security Deposit:** 3 months of gross rent (or bank guarantee).

What is your unit's **location/address**, **floor area (sq ft)**, and whether it is a **shophouse, mall unit, or HDB shop**?

Let us assist perhaps?

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 15 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market. Check out the EdgeProp featured article on myself recently at https://www.edgeprop.sg/property-news/geryl-lim-leading-landed-real-estate-heart-hustle-and-harmony

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 15,900 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!
