Relocation
Expansion into new markets and the development of new locations is one of the most challenging projects a company undertakes. Selection of a new location throws up a number of questions that need to be clarified in order to arrive at decisions based on reliable information. The positive development of a location requires appropriate framework conditions that need continuous assessment.
In support of your location project, we start out with the following (ideal) typical workflow in location planning and assessment:
• Determination of “location requirements” by the company
• Formulation of location/internationalization strategy
• Assessment of the customizability of the corporate strategy
• Derivation from corporate strategy of location factors critical to success
• Preliminary choice of appropriate locations (domestic vs. overseas)
• Quantitative analysis: capital value and cash flow consideration and
• Static vs. dynamic assessment of alternate locations
• Cost of relocation and return
• Assessment of potential for modernization at the (German) headquarters of the company
• Decision
Our structured procedure is target-oriented but also practically geared to prevailing framework conditions, and delivers speedy and meaningful results for corporate decision-making.
