Consultations

Advisory work you can commission by name

Each consultation is scoped for independent retailers weighing a new catchment, lease, or opening sequence. Choose the engagement that matches where you are in the decision.

  • Market Entry Assessment

    Fixed project fee from AUD 4,800 · 3–5 weeks

    A structured review of whether a new suburb, street, or regional centre suits your independent shop — catchment, competition, lease risk, and opening timeline.

Unsure which consultation fits?

Most owners begin with a Market Entry Assessment when the location is still open. If you already hold two or three addresses, a Location Shortlist Review is usually enough. Opening calendars and category briefings sit later in the sequence.
