MAKE MONEY, DO BUSINESS.- Session 02. I've got the right location.

Caso práctico

Primer plano de una joven.

Carla has visited the sites Manuel and she preselected in the former meeting. Listen to Carla talking to Manuel on the phone and giving him a short overview of the situation.

Manuel: Manuel Sánchez speaking

Carla: Hi Manuel, it's me, Carla. I've been visiting the sites we preselected and I think I've found the one. Let me tell you about it.

Manuel: Sure, I'm not busy at the moment.

Carla: Well, I already have two main selections. The first is a warehouse in Los Barrios industrial park. It's a well-known industrial park but the facilities around need some improvements. It's only five minutes from Algeciras' port where, as you know, there is a bulk container terminal. Umm …It's extraordinarily well connected. The nearest chicken slaughterhouse is only 15 minutes from the warehouse and there are 3 other ones in the area.

About the size…it is 100 metres long and 20 metres wide, the height is not a problem and a mezzanine can be placed in the rear part of the warehouse.

We can have this site with a rental agreement of 3000 a month, all taxes included.

On the other hand, our second option is located in another industrial park in the northern part of the city. It is therefore farther from the port of shipping, 20 minutes, and 25 minutes from the nearest slaughterhouse but the good thing is that it's brand new. It has never been used before and it is as large as the other one, 110 m. long and 20 m. wide. The owner said he would help with any construction we may need and the rental agreement is 2500 €. Taxes are not included but they're lower than in our first option because the town hall wants the park to be in full use. Oh! And I forgot, the vacuum packing machinery is included as well.

So, what do you think?

Think about it

Discuss at the unit forum the advantages and disadvantages of each site. What would you do if you were in Manuel and Carla’s shoes? Which one would you select as your company’s premises?
