subject: Choosing Business Locations Requires A Lot Of Insider Information [print this page] Choosing business locations for a potential move or indeed an expansion, perhaps into a foreign country or indeed to the other end of the country requires a lot of insider information, so much so that if it was trading on the stock market with too much insider information, it would be illegal. Thankfully, getting an edge on your competitors by seeking out as much information from a free to use and indispensable business-to-business resource that every company should turn to when deciding where to locate their business operations isn't illegal; indeed it is positively encouraged.
Inward investment into another geographical area in your own country, relocating completely a business into a foreign country or merely expanding and opening another operation elsewhere is a daunting task, and although it can be potentially very lucrative, it bears with it many risks for the unprepared. First of all one needs to have intel on the local market conditions, that is to say the potential for sales, what the transport and logistics infrastructure is like and how easy is it to actually do business in another area or country?
Before any move is considered one needs to be aware of the potential for commercial premises in the preferred or chosen location; indeed are there suitable premises and if so, what is the potential for expanding into larger premises as the business expands, if indeed larger premises would be required? If larger premises were to be needed at a later date, is there a surplus of suitable locations, and if not what is the alternative to location and/or geographical area?
Moving on from there, if the premises and transport logistics are suitable does the local jurisdiction offer tax breaks for relocation and if so how much, what are they and for how long a period of time would these breaks be in force and/or offered? Then again, if all of these fall into place, are there any local environmental issues and/or regulations or laws which would impinge on your manufacturing process (if any) and if so, what expenditure would be required to make your operation viable?
