Which Types of Businesses Use Site Selection Consultants?

Of these, 382,200, or 98 per cent, were classified as small businesses under 50 employees. Small businesses are likely to handle the site selection process themselves.  As a result, you can expect that most of the time, you will be dealing directly with a business owner or employee who is handling the site selection process internally.
