Logistical Business Location Factors — A Free and Indispensible Source of Business-to-Business Information
Streamlining one’s business location or, indeed, relocation plans is a complex procedure — one that, if if not handled or prepared for correctly, can have devastating consequences for long-term security and growth. There are many business location factors which need to be considered prior to any move, among them the following;
- Reliable data concerning the local economy and access to markets
- What financial assistance and local tax incentives are available (if at all any)
- Environmental regulations and local employment legislation
- Business networks, supply lines, and access routes
- Workforce recruitment and possible language issues
Of course, these issues mentioned above are just scratching at the surface, and a successful business strategy is best formulated by identifying and contacting suitable local government agencies and service providers directly. However, this can be prohibitively expensive if location consultants and intermediaries need to be utilized. Fortunately, much of the information these consultants have at their fingertips can easily be sourced without having to use consultants’ services.
In reality, what’s needed is a portal where you can contact agencies directly, based on the information available, and where a search for locations matching your company’s requirements can be made in complete confidence; a portal that can be searched by keywords, by individual business sector, or by an advanced search that includes such things as communications, commercial property, planned projects and developments, complete with financial incentives and support and local workforce factors.
The Internet is the most powerful business tool the world has ever seen, and at the moment its potential has hardly been tapped. Any entrepreneur or business owner who has serious intentions of engaging a new economy, a new business venture, or development within another country — whether it is in the European Union or further afield — needs to have as much relevant and “wired” business information regarding the local economy in question and the logistics of business location or relocation as possible.
