Location, location, location.
The high value-added services of a location strategy consultant are not reserved for large companies, in fact, middle size companies typically benefit most from the expertise of a location strategy consultant.
In addition to the physical real estate, companies rely on location strategy consultants to assist them with:
- optimization of supply chain
- logistics
- cost minimalization
- tax structure
- workforce
- return on investment
A quality location decision is not solely a real estate decision. Whether it is a headquarters, back office, distribution center, manufacturing, laboratory, call center, or data center facility there are many factors to consider before coming to a final location decision. The critical factors of a location project are uniquely tailored to the business needs of the company as it relates to such considerations as the company’s culture, existing network, customer base, workforce, supply chain, and facility type. Making a location decision without consideration to one or more of these critical factors can lead to misalignment between the facility and the community, unexpected costs, high cost operation, underperforming facility and network of facilities, high workforce turnover, and the inability to attract top talent.
An experienced location strategy consultant has the expertise to empower company leadership to make an optimal location decision by assessing the operational and locational needs of a company, providing quantitative and qualitative analysis of candidate locations, and negotiating comprehensive real estate and economic development incentive packages. Most companies make a location decision once every 5 or more years, while a location strategy consultant is dedicated full-time to helping companies make informed location decisions that enable businesses and communities thrive.
