'Access' - is the site easily accessable to potential customers. Is it in a well known area and near main roads and easy to find. Does public transport service the area? 'Visibility' can potential customers easily identify the building/signage etc or will they find it difficult to find. 'Parking'- can customers easily park within a close proximity or will they leave unable to find a carpark. 'Safety/Comfort'- is the location in a safe area which is appealing to the potential customer. 'Protected from future development'- is the area subject to redevelopement by government or local authority which may adversely affect the business? Can a developer build near the location and block the customers view of the building/signage? Will future construction cause disruption to access to carparks etc. 'Foot Traffic' - how many potential customers walk past the location already? High foot traffic means less to spend on adverting and marketing. 'Competition' - how many competing businesses are within the area? Many competitors will dilute the amount of potential business. Low competion in the area will be an advatange. These are the type of key issues when accessing a location. Hope that gets you started.
