Availability of location or low rent? How to choose a profitable place for business

Mistakes when choosing a location can cost your business. We'll look at why accessibility is more important than cheap rent, how to properly analyze a location, and what to consider to make it easy for customers to find you.


❌ A mistake that ruins a business at the start

Entrepreneurs, especially new ones, often make a fatal mistake: they choose premises based on the principle “the cheaper the rent, the better.”

But if it’s hard to get to, there’s no parking, poor traffic – customers simply won’t come.

  • Cheap rent = few people, no traffic, invisible business.
  • Accessible location = high traffic, convenience for customers, stable profit.

Customers vote with their feet. If your business is hard to find or hard to get to – they’ll go to your competitors.

🚶‍♂️ What is location availability?

Affordability is not only about the rental price, but also about convenience for customers. What to pay attention to?

📍 Proximity to human traffic

✔ Metro, bus stops, busy roads.

✔ The ability to quickly stop by on the way to work or home.

🚗 Parking

✔ Customers will not circle around looking for a place.

✔ Especially important for restaurants, car services, beauty salons.

👀 Visibility of your sign

✔ The more visible your business is, the more random customers you will have.

✔ If the establishment is hidden in the courtyards, customers will have to look for you (and they don’t want to do this).

🏠 Developed infrastructure around

✔ Business zones, shopping centers, residential areas are the key to customer flow.

✔ The more traffic, the higher the likelihood that people will come to you.

How does the wrong location kill a business?

Let's look at two real cases:

🚫 Mistake #1. "The main thing is low rent!"

A businessman rented a space in a residential area. The rent is cheap, but there are no clients. There is no flow, competitors are nearby, the road is inconvenient. The business closed after 6 months.

✅ Successful example. "Focus on customer convenience"

The owner of a coffee shop chose an expensive but passable location near the metro. The high rent paid off due to constant traffic. The business quickly went into the black and began to scale.

📌 Conclusion: a good location with high traffic will always win over cheap rent in a remote place.


📊 How to analyze a place before renting?

Before signing a contract, check:

✔ Who are your competitors within a 15-minute walk?

✔ Is there parking and convenient access?

✔ Is your sign visible from the street?

✔ Are there bus stops, metro, business centers nearby?

✔ What is the average flow of people passing by each day?

Don't be lazy and go outside and observe the traffic at different times of the day.

🎯 How to choose a profitable location?

Accessibility is not only convenience, but also the ability for customers to find you and come in.

✅ High traffic = more visitors.

✅ Proximity to key points = a constant flow of customers.

✅ Convenient access and parking = people are more willing to come to you.


📢 Don't lose clients due to a poor choice of location!
If your business is hard to find and your customer flow is lower than expected, it's time to fix the situation.

🔥 The right location is not just a lease, but the foundation for the success of your business.

❌ Wrong choice = low traffic, customer problems, losses.

✅ Good accessibility = constant flow, recognition, development.

🔍Analyze the place before renting so that your business brings profit, not problems!

❓ Frequently asked questions

  1. Is it worth opening a business in a low rent area?
    If there is no good flow of customers, then cheap rent will not help – the business will be unprofitable.
  2. How do you know if a location is passable?
    Count the people passing by during rush hour. Estimate the traffic on weekdays and weekends.
  3. What is more important: parking or a metro station nearby?
    Depends on the business. For cafes and shops, pedestrian accessibility is important. For car services and salons – parking.
  4. Is it possible to attract customers with advertising if the location is not good?
    Yes, but this will require large investments in marketing, and customers are not always willing to look for an establishment in an inconvenient location.
  5. How to check if a location is profitable for business?
    View the flow of people, competitors, convenience for customers, evaluate the map and infrastructure.

    Недавно открывал свою небольшую фотостудию и столкнулся с выбором локации. Очень помог анализ целевой аудитории и пешеходный трафик. Нашёл место недалеко от крупных офисных зданий, что положительно сказалось на потоке клиентов. Начинал думать, что сделать хорошую парковку – дело второстепенное, но потом оценил её значимость. Оказалось, многие мои клиенты предпочитают приезжать на съёмки на машине, поэтому наличие парковочных мест оказалось критически важным.

    როგორ ითვალისწინებთ სეზონურ ცვალებადობას, მაგალითად ტურისტულ სეზონს, საწარმოო ადგილის არჩევისას?

    ბიზნესისთვის ლოკაციის მნიშვნელობის გათვალისწინება ნამდვილად აუცილებელია, მაგრამ მაინტერესებს, როგორ ხდება საქართველოში ლოკაციის შერჩევის პროცესი? რა განსხვავებებია რეგიონების მიხედვით და როგორ მოქმედებს კონკურენცია ასეთ პატარა ქვეყანაში? ვისაც აქვს გამოცდილება, გაგვიზიარეთ რჩევები!

    Недавно помогал другу выбрать место для его кофейни. Мы много думали о том, где живёт и чем занимается его целевая аудитория. Оказалось, что в районе, где он хотел открыть бизнес, очень мало парковочных мест, и добраться туда непросто. В итоге выбрали локацию поближе к остановкам и офисам. Подтянулись клиенты, и кофейня начала пользоваться популярностью. Хорошо, что провели анализ проходимости и конкурентного окружения заранее.

    Is it more beneficial to be located near competitors if my potential customer base is primarily local rather than tourists or visitors? I'm curious how others have navigated this aspect when choosing a business location.

    I wonder about the recommendation to locate your business near competitors. Wouldn't being too close risk losing customers to them instead?

    Всегда считала, что размещение рядом с конкурентами может быть рискованным. Не возникает ли в этом случае опасность потерять уникальность и просто стать ещё одним выбором среди множества? Может, лучше искать менее насыщенные аналогами места?

    კარგია, როდესაც ლოკაციის არჩევის საკითხები განიხილება, მაგრამ მაინტერესებს, რამდენად მნიშვნელოვანია კონკურენტებთან სიახლოვე? ზოგჯერ მეჩვენება, რომ მომხმარებელმა შეიძლება უპირატესობა იმ ადგილს მიანიჭოს, სადაც ნაკლები კონკურენციაა. ზოგიერთი პატარა ბიზნესი სწორედ ასე გადარჩება. როგორ გავითვალისწინოთ ეს, რომ არ დავკარგოთ კლიენტები?

    Интересный разбор. Особенно полезным показался пункт о близости к конкурентам и партнёрам — действительно важный фактор для бизнеса. Часто само наличие конкурентов поблизости привлекает больше клиентов, но важно не забывать про уровень конкуренции. Это важно учитывать на этапе планирования.

    Is it always beneficial to be near competitors? While it might attract customers, isn't there a risk of losing them to the competition?

    სტატიის ძალიან საინტერესო პუნქტები. მაინტერესებს, როგორ შეგვიძლია დავადგინოთ პოტენციური კლიენტების სქემა, თუ მათი ზუსტი ადგილმდებარეობის შესახებ მონაცემები გვაქვს? ასეთი ანალიზის ჩატარება ხომ დიდ სირთულეებს მოითხოვს.

    რა ფაქტორებია მეტად მნიშვნელოვანი როგორც ტურისტულ ადგილებში ბიზნესის გახსნისას? მაგალითად, ბათუმში ან მესტიაში, არის თუ არა რამე სპეციფიური რაც აუცილებლად უნდა გავითვალისწინოთ?

    У меня возникло сомнение по поводу размещения бизнеса рядом с конкурентами. Не получится ли так, что сильные соперники просто перетянут на себя всех клиентов, особенно если они давно на этом месте и хорошо известны?

    Очень важно учитывать проходимость и доступность, чтобы бизнес не терял клиентов из-за неудобного расположения.

    Очень полезная статья, которая помогает понять, на что стоит обратить внимание при выборе локации для бизнеса. Особенно порадовало, что авторы учли важность анализа целевой аудитории и оценки инфраструктуры района. Часто забывают про такие нюансы, а это действительно имеет значение для привлечения клиентов.

    Когда дело касается аренды, многие предприниматели часто обращают внимание лишь на стоимость, забывая о других факторах, которые могут сыграть решающую роль в успехе бизнеса. Правильное место с хорошей проходимостью и удобным доступом – это, безусловно, ключ к постоянному потоку клиентов.
    Мне особенно понравилась идея, что даже если локация не самая дешевая, высокая аренда может быстро окупиться благодаря большому количеству людей, проходящих мимо. Важность видимости вывески и доступности парковки тоже нельзя недооценивать, особенно для таких типов бизнеса, как рестораны или салоны красоты.
