01Can a rented office or shop be improved without structural changes?
Yes, in part. Seating, the facing of desks, storage, lighting, colours, plants, the position of the safe and general order can all be arranged without touching a wall. Partitions, a new door or a changed signboard usually need the landlord’s consent, so ask in writing first. The table above shows what a tenancy usually settles. A review helps you pick, from what you are allowed to change, the changes worth the trouble.
02Does it matter which way my shop or office faces?
Tradition has views, and they differ. Many modern consultants prefer a main door on the north, east or north-east side. Some call a south-facing door acceptable, while others rate a south-facing road poor. The old house text names no single best side: it describes each part of each side separately. No independent, controlled study of door direction and trade has been found. A shop front is usually set by the street and the footfall, and Narayani reads the door you have, what stands in front of it and what a visitor sees first.
03Where should the owner’s cabin be, and what if the owner sits with the team?
Consultants give the south-west, with the owner facing north or east. Many owners have no cabin: a founder may sit among the team, or a shop owner may stand at the counter. The idea can then be kept in a smaller form, a seat that can see the working floor and the entrance, on the south-west side if the plan has one. Where the plan offers no such seat, she looks at what the seat can see, and the choice is yours.
04Can the layout of a business space affect cash flow and sales?
A layout affects how easily customers find, reach and pay, and how well staff can work. Those are practical effects, and they can touch sales. A compass direction doing anything beyond that is a separate claim, and the section on sales and money above says where the evidence stands. Narayani promises neither cash flow nor sales. If a review ever sounds like a promise of either, that is a reason to ask more questions.
05How can I tell whether a stalled business needs a change of strategy or of space?
Start with the business: pricing, costs, payment terms, hiring and the market. If those are sound and the trouble remains, a layout review is a reasonable next step, taken as one more way of looking at the problem and never as the explanation. A useful test is to name the mechanism: how would a change in the space change this number? If you cannot name one, the cause is probably elsewhere, and she will say so if she thinks it is.
