    Capital, skills, location: the 3 keys to success

    Capital

    Funding, cash flow, bank application: the financial foundations of your project.

    Skills

    Industry know-how, operational management, sector expertise.

    The key factor

    Location

    The one factor you cannot fix after opening. That's where Epistem comes in.

    The first two depend on you.
    The ideal location, we find it for you, from €980.

    The problem

    • For a French micro, small or medium-sized business, the premises represent 30 to 80% of the initial investment.
    • It is the 2nd largest operational expense after salaries.
    • In many sectors (restaurants, local retail...), having a physical location has become essential to scale beyond a certain point.
    • A location mistake can cost 2 to 3 years of growth.

    The solution

    • Mathematical optimisation of the location of 1 single or several premises.
    • Calculation of the optimal location to GPS precision.
    • Determination of optimal parameters: surface area, floors, storage, etc.

    The benefits

    Reduce your CAPEX

    • Minimisation of real estate investment.
    • Reduction of installation costs.
    • Elimination of oversizing.

    Reduce your OPEX

    • Optimisation of supply flows.
    • Optimisation of your deliveries.
    • Reduction of your carbon footprint.

    Maximise your performance

    • Optimal targeting of customer flows.
    • Reduction of cannibalization risks between points of sale.
