Site selection is a key strategic decision for your successful business development. We understand the issues and processes and can help you to select the optimal site for your business.
We propose five phases to site selection optimisation:
1
. Internal/external analysis – information gathering to establish a shared fact base about the potential opportunities and the choices available
2. Development of three or four alternative strategies covering markets, culture, infrastructure, costs...
3. Evaluation and analysis of the options – SWOT, PESTLE
4. Strategic decision making - understanding of facts, trade-offs, competitive considerations and investment risks
5. Implementation – plan and execution
Our tabled data will ensure a fact-based cost/benefit assessment. Where appropriate we use Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis and Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental (PESTLE) analysis, as well as an estimate of the capital required and life time costs under each scenario. Our market research ensures full awareness of the current tendencies present in today’s competitive site selection markets.
We are always cognisant of the importance of individualisation in site selection. We will work with you to gather information and establish a shared fact base, concerning your company-specific factors including:
- Competition - sector-specific
- Markets - demand, development, proximity
- Materials - access, development, proximity
- Communications - standards, systems
- Government incentives - grants, rebates, funds at inter-national, national, regional and local levels
