Shop is packed, i looked for a place for a second branch but my partner says 'let's get this one sorted first'

Another perspective: maybe the core problem with opening a second branch is something else. Think about it like this...

this was a problem for me too thx... in the end i had to find another way. really stressful situation.

But what's the real risk? Will the business close if this choice is wrong? i'm telling you to be very careful.

Three different views emerged, they all complement each other. Mistakes made on the opening a second branch side are usually reversible but expensive.

Everyone rushing into opening a second branch gets stuck at the same point. Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

This approach has a cost, which isn't discussed. Calculate this based on total annual cost, not the monthly bill.

I'd say don't rush. Finding a new customer is more expensive than keeping an existing one.

i feel the same way. measure first, then divide... when the order is right the debate ends.

good luck with that.

Let me summarize the topic since several different answers were given. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.

I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

We got stuck at the same point for a while. tbh when making a decision also write down the cost of reversal.

Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval. If I were you, I'd go this route.

Thanks for writing this, that's the right way. Everyone rushing into opening a second branch gets stuck at the same point.

Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

Let me write how it's done in practice. The harder it is to reverse a decision, the slower you should make it.

I'm writing this so you don't make the same mistake. People defend habits not processes. tbh resistance comes from there.

This is my opinion I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

there's a common mistake people make when doing this. like processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later. i mean if I were you I'd go this route.

Let me clarify the technical side. Any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Let me summarize what's been said so far. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

That's all, sorry if I went on too long.

To get into the details: Don't enter any agreement without an exit plan.

Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once. Proven by experience.
