Opening in Sydney or Melbourne: site and opening date

Once a lease is signed, the location is hard to change. For Chinese business owners opening in Australia, the step that deserves the most care is the one before signing.

Choose the site, then sign

Commercial leases in Australia usually run for years. Read the site and orientation before signing a lease or buying premises — when you are comparing two or three options is the best time to ask.

Shops, restaurants and offices all count as commercial sites. For a remote reading, send the address, floor plan, the orientation of the entrance and interior, and photos or a short video.

Once settled: layout, wealth position, dates

Once the premises are fixed, our usual approach is a commercial site survey or corporate layout revision: placing finance, sales and development by function, setting the office's wealth position, breaking a deadlock and avoiding exposure.

The fit-out and opening dates are chosen with opening-date and project timing. Dates for major decisions can also be set through year-by-year timing.

The owner's own chart

At a certain stage the question is rarely just the location. Our business work starts from the owner's lifetime chart reading — favourable and unfavourable elements, innate structure, the rhythm of the major cycles, when to move or hold — read together with the company's structure, people and timing.

Clients on annual private planning are reviewed through the year and revisited before each major step.

Fees

Commercial site selection, site surveys, opening dates and business services in Australia are quoted per matter. Tell us on WeChat the type of business, the city and where you are (still looking, lease signed, about to open), and the master will quote.

Questions

Can the opening date be chosen on its own?
Yes. Opening dates and project timing are part of business space and timing, quoted per matter.
Does the time difference affect the opening hour?
Dates and hours are calculated in your city's local time, and appointments are confirmed in your local time too.
