RightMoves is our proven four-step process and the framework of your confidential location solution. RightMoves gives you confidence that your location decisions will maximize long-term opportunities while minimizing costs. Our processes are flexible, scalable, interactive and highly communicative.

The first step is critically important to your overall success. It clearly defines your strategy, priorities, project parameters, and establishes a common understanding of the project and the key drivers.
- Project Scope
- Key Drivers
- Project Parameters
- Impact Metrics
- Geographic Preferences
In the absence of well-defined geographic preferences, our location and community cost analysis establishes an intermediate list of potential location solutions. Additionally, the analysis helps eliminate potential fact-finding biases allowing your location solution to withstand the scrutiny of executive management and project teams, board members, shareholders, employees or even the public at-large. A variety of factors are considered depending on the project and business priorities.
- Workforce & Demographic Assessment
- Transportation Infrastructure and Logistics
- Utilities Infrastructure and Costs
- Tax Structures
- Snapshot of Facilities or Developable Sites
- Potential Community & Financial Support
- Political Climate
More critical location assessments increase the level and sophistication of analysis. The effort is intended to reduce the intermediate list of location solutions to a competitive short-list. Field work is initiated to strengthen preliminary site analysis, prove concepts and uncover competitive intelligence at the "street level" that's relevant to the project. Incentive negotiations are initiated in earnest. Specific properties (sites and/or buildings) are evaluated.
Step 4: Final Selection
Final Selection involves the most highly refined level of assessment and typically includes in-depth negotiations on property and incentives. Agreements are ultimately finalized and documented, leading to an official announcement.
