Location & Feasibility Check
Before you sign a lease or set up a company: we take an honest look at your idea, the market and the location’s potential — and tell you clearly what we see. Even when the answer is “not yet”.
Location Strategy & Founder Coaching
From the right location to opening day.
Planning to open a shop, a studio or a restaurant? We assess your plan honestly, find the location your business can actually build on — and we stay with you until it’s up and running. Built on experience from several ventures of our own.
For founders and companies across Europe
Why location?
Your location has a say —
every single day you’re open.
Before your first customer walks through the door, your location has already decided a few things for you — footfall, rent, visibility and the neighbourhood you sit in. Choose well here and you’ll save yourself years of detours.
-
Location is footfall
How many people walk past your door every day — and are they the right ones?
-
Rent is risk
Fixed costs have to match your revenue potential — not the other way round.
-
The area is your customer base
Neighbours, competitors and the wider district decide who buys from you.
Services
Three ways we can move you forward.
Location Strategy & Property Search
We develop your location strategy, identify and evaluate suitable premises, analyse the market and the competition — and stay with you through to signing the lease.

FAQ
Good to know before we talk.
Who is Location Strategy Group for?
For anyone opening or expanding a brick-and-mortar business: shops, studios, clinics, restaurants and service businesses — from your very first business to the expansion of an established company.
Which countries do you work in?
Throughout Europe, with a particular focus on the German-speaking markets: Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
What does the initial consultation cost?
Nothing. The first conversation is free, with no obligation — after that, you decide whether and how to continue.
What does the location search look like in practice?
Strategy first: target audience, catchment area, budget. Then we search for and assess specific premises, including a market and competition analysis. Finally, we come with you to viewings and guide you through the lease negotiation.
I don’t have a firm plan yet — is a conversation still worthwhile?
Yes. Especially early on, an honest assessment prevents costly wrong turns. Sometimes the most valuable outcome of a conversation is a “not yet”.
Do you also work with established companies?
Yes. We support companies expanding their brick-and-mortar business and opening new branches — from market analysis through to the lease.
