The stages behind a market entry brief
A clear sequence for independent retailers commissioning advisory work — so you know what happens between the first call and the handover.
-
Week 0
Enquiry & scope lock
We confirm your trading format, price band, decision deadline, and whether you need a full Market Entry Assessment or a narrower shortlist review. A written scope and fee follow before any field work.
-
Week 1
Materials & visit plan
You share a high-level P&L snapshot, lease drafts if any, and photos of the existing shop floor. We schedule catchment visits for morning, lunch, and late-afternoon windows.
-
Weeks 2–3
Field reading
Advisors walk candidate streets, note neighbouring tenants, and map competitors within the agreed radius. Travel days for regional Western Australia sites are planned into this block.
-
Week 4
Synthesis
Findings become a written brief with a go / pause / reshape recommendation, rent exposure commentary, and an opening calendar outline tied to supplier lead times.
-
Handover
Briefing session
A 90-minute session walks the recommendation with you and any partners. Questions after delivery are welcome within the clarification window noted in your scope.
