What is a Custom BizCosts® Report?

Simply put, a custom BizCosts® Report is the counterpart of a cost-of-living report. A BizCosts® Report measures the comparative cost of doing business for a specific industry or distinct corporate function in a series of different geographic locations. The focus of a custom BizCosts® Report can be a specific industry or industry group (plastics, aerospace, distribution warehousing pharma, motor vehicle parts, e.g.) or a particular corporate function (headquarters, back office, R&D, e-commerce, I.T., customer service, e.g.).

What Costs are Included in a Custom BizCosts® Report?

Business operating costs included in a custom BizCosts® Report are termed geographically-variable, that is to say, those operating costs that vary significantly by geography. Depending on the BizCosts® Report, these geographically-variable business costs may include:
  • Labor Costs (Industry-Specific Job Titles Including Benefits)
  • Construction Costs (Office, Manufacturing, Distribution, & Research)
  • Lease Costs (Industrial, Class-A Office, Class-B Office, Warehouse, & Research)
  • Utilities (Telecommunications, Electric Power, & Natural Gas)
  • Shipping Costs
  • Property Taxes
  • Sales Taxes
  • Land Costs (Industrial, Commercial, Office, & Research)
  • Financing & Amortization Costs
  • Travel Costs (On-Site & Air Travel)
  • Other Costs (That Impact the Site Selection Process & Dictate Industry-wide Competitiveness)

What is the Source of the BizCosts® Data? Are Custom BizCosts® Expensive?

Distinguishing custom BizCosts® Report is the fact that they are grounded in empirical field research conducted in candidate cities and draw from The Boyd Company’s five decades of corporate site selection casework and client cost-positioning. Feedback from Boyd clients in the field and other reliable third-party sources further augment the BizCosts® proprietary data bank. The cost of a custom BizCosts® Report is based on the number of surveyed locations - U.S. or global - industry sector and start-up modeling. Given our ready access to data, turnaround times are short and our fees are much less than the cost of assigning your own research staff. Savings in determining the most cost-efficient location justify BizCosts® fees many times over. On average, the cost of a custom BizCosts® Report ranges from $1,500 to $2,000 for each surveyed location, plus a start-up consultation and modeling fee of $500.

How is the BizCosts® Data Presented?

Operating costs in a custom BizCosts® Report are annualized and scaled to the client’s model plant, office or warehouse. The factor-by-factor format of the cost exhibits easily allows the client to further tailor the BizCosts® data to reflect alternate scales of operation and growth expectations. When off-shore locations are included, costs are presented in U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.

What Comparative Locations Can Be Included in a Custom BizCosts® Report?

Both U.S. and international comparative cities can be included in each custom BizCosts® Report based on the client’s specific research and planning needs.
