Tips to choose the best business location

 

Only the combination of great location, an excellent product or service, efficient client service, and the right price will make it possible for your business idea to achieve success accurately.

Surely you have almost each of these factors, but here are some tips for helping you to properly choose the place to set up your business.

 

  • Decide on your business core type

 

Depending on your business core there are some needs and priorities you should meet. The main activities developed in your business should be the basic premises for choosing your location. If you are a distribution company, you should look for a retail space.

Do you need easy access to transport? Do you need an open and huge area? Do you need a large warehouse? Your business involves chemicals or excessive noise?

Understanding the requirements of your business is the first step in finding the correct location. Make a list of them and try to prioritize them looking to meet the most important ones first. Don’t forget to consider future needs for growth and expansion.

 

  • Scope out the competition

The idea of a business is to gain market share, so it’s important to seek a place where competitors don’t take your clients. For some businesses, like factories, being in the same area with competitors may not matter. But for most commercial businesses, like restaurants or retail establishments, they may not want competitors located nearby.

Therefore, it is important to do a competitive analysis and use it to choose the location. Some businesses are located in particular areas with several similar businesses and take advantage of that. In most cases, it works because they are positioned brands, but for new brands, it could be negative.

If you want to move into an area or city with strong competition, make sure your business has a clear brand value and enough resources to hang in there while you make a name for yourself.

 

  • Balance cost with other factors

 

Surely you have a budget to locate or relocate your business. Based on it you might decide whether to buy a property or enter into a lease. This could limit your premises’ search options and the area or city.

Look for costs in the big picture, considering all factors (access, community, nearness to market, economic policies, demographics, infrastructure, and so on) location options as much as the price. Don’t be blinded by attractive prices.
