Infrastructure Analysis

 

 

 

   

 

Infrastructure includes access to roads, transportation services, electric power, water supply, telephone services, storage facilities, production and marketing premises. Availability of transport facilities and electric power play great roles if you are engaged in the manufacturing and construction business sectors. You need to get a good transport facility with affordable fees to transport raw materials as well as your finished goods. If you are using power driven machines/equipment, availability and affordability of electric power will also play a determinantal role.

In addition to the analysis of infrastructure, you also need to look for a strategic business location to reach potential customers.

 

                          Viability of infrastructure

  • What commercial area is the best one for your business?

  • How far are you from the competitors?

  • Are there shops available  at an affordable price?

  • Is the shop rent contract reasonable?

  • How are infrastructure facilities like electricity, water, telephone, fax connection and public transport?
