Secure the optimal location with maximum incentives as possible.
Where you locate your facilities affects every aspect of your business, from logistics to employee recruitment to your bottom line.
Finding the ideal long-term location requires analysis of many factors, such as proximity to key suppliers and customers, quality of the workforce, real estate and business costs, and available incentives to name a few. To achieve full ROI from the investment, businesses need to be savvy about how they approach the site selection and incentives negotiation process as well as capitalize on all available statutory credits for which they qualify.
