How our business intelligence helps companies find the optimal location for their expansion in Asia

To find the right location, the first phase would involve identifying the location needs and setting the search metrics. An initial screening for potential sites based on the search metrics will follow.

When the first phase is complete, a report with data metrics and analysis of property options will be sent to the client.

Key features of our process in phase one include:

  • Real estate: What is the rental or purchasing cost? What is the most suitable location? What about site and building amenities as well as utilities?
  • Connectivity: What are the major infrastructure and transportation options and how easy is it to access customers and suppliers?
  • Workforce: What is the availability of skilled or non-skilled labor? What are the average salaries and how much does social insurance cost?
  • Regulations: What certifications are needed? Are there any tax and policy incentives available?

In phase two, our business intelligence teams will assist you in shortlisting the most suitable locations, and provide a “best-fit” analyses on the top matches in the form of a final report.
