| Executive Summary
The Fantus location consulting practice has been a leader in
North American location consulting services for roughly 70 years.
After being acquired by Deloitte & Touche several years ago, the
capabilities of this niche group in the firm have been expanded to integrate
with other services of Deloitte & Touche, particularly in the area of
real estate services, to support investors on a more
global basis. Many other consultants in this niche worked at Fantus at
some point in their careers.
Their work ties into other specialties (supply
chain management, manufacturing consulting, etc.), and the
tax services
include work related to expatriate assignments by executives, which may be
relevant to projects in other countries. The company provides services in this niche to
both corporate investors and economic development
agencies, which contributes to familiarity with the current investment
conditions and incentives in many locations for greater efficiency.
Mark Klender, Phil Schneider, and others are frequent speakers on investment trends and the
location selection process at events such as CoreNet Global summits. They are also quoted frequently or provide articles to
various magazines in this niche market. The firm also performs
research work to track investment trends and plans, such as a global study
in late 2001 for The World Bank - MIGA. |
