Selecting a good premise for the business is very important. Many enterprises suffer and even fail because they have chosen the wrong location. The choice of location is absolutely vital and is something one needs to take into consideration at an early stage of commencing a business. If the entrepreneur is buying out an existing business, then the location has already been decided and it would not be an issue, unless one needs to move into new premises or location.
The proper location is often decided by the type of business one carries on, as well as by the new business requirements.
