Part 1 (Paper 1 response)
Part 1 (Paper 1 response)
- Using the raft of resources available to you in B4 you will create a one page article (less than 250 words) using the writing frame below to explain to Wahid and Aadil where they should locate their new business venture for the trial period leading up to Christmas within Oxford Spires Academy. Your report should include the following:
- Introduction - Why is choosing the right location important? followed by
- factors influencing the start up location to include:
- potential locations,
- competitors,
- availability of supplies and storage,
- availability and cost of labour
- transport links for deliveries and collection
- technology
- costs
If Wahid and Aadil's business was to grow to be a UK wide supplier of vending machines like 'Coffee Nation' Why might they consider changing location rather than being based in OX4. In a seperate 250 words discuss under the following headings:
- What is the importance of location to a growing business.
- Why might they not wish to move location if they had a national distribution.
- Why might they need to relocate out of the OSA facility.
- What are the advantages of locating overseas if they decided to buy and assemble their own vending machines.
- Identify some disadvantages of locating overseas if most of their customers are UK based

'Why choosing the right business is so important to a start up business and why this location may need to change for a growing business along with the issues relating to an overseas location.'
