The main tenants at Cannon House in Birmingham are the Insolvency Service (an executive agency of the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills) who pays rent to the landlord for space within the building. No income is derived from any occupation of this building.

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) no longer occupy any space within the NTI Building in Birmingham. The estates team for BIS are actively marketing the vacant space in the NTI building, Birmingham and are in discussion with an interested party.

BIS are not the leaseholders for Queensway House in Billingham. The space is leased from Stockton-On-Tees Borough Council. Therefore, this department do not receive rent for this space, they pay for their occupation in this location.

BIS no longer occupy any space within Stella House, Newcastle or Westfield House, London.
