What you Should Consider when Choosing a Location for your Business

For centuries London has been at the heart of global politics and industry, and even during times of global economic gloom, London has been a pioneer in start-up businesses. In the last year alone more than 200,000 new businesses were registered in Greater London, and that figure seems to be on the increase.  If you’re one of them, or are considering joining the ranks, there are a few things you should consider when choosing the perfect location for your business.

Accessibility

When thinking about a location for your business, you should decipher if it has good local transport links, particularly main roads and motorways, as well as public transport offerings like buses and trains. It’s no secret that London’s property rental and purchase prices are on the steep side, so consider renting in one of the suburbs, or slightly further afield.

And of course, don’t forget your employees who will often live in central locations. Despite its proximity to the capital, rental prices in places like Stevenage are much cheaper, whilst also still being accessible for employees to commute to, especially if they live in family friendly suburbs like Islington. Stevenage, for example, would be an easy commute for employees on the train. Travelling by car against the flow of traffic who make the daily journey into the city would also be an option too.

Security

As a start-up, more often than not a lot of your hard earned money will have been invested into your business, and as such you should think about how secure the location of your premises is. Your location can increase the odds of being affected by crime, which can, in turn, influence your insurance premiums, not to mention the cost of additional security measures you may need to keep your business secure.

Knowing the risks of potential activity can help you make an informed decision on the best location for your business.

Competition

Checking out where the competition before you sign the lease or buy the property should definitely be factored in. If there’s no competition in the area it might suggest it’s not the right location, similarly, if the area is saturated with similar businesses there might be too much competition.

Establishing which competitors are in the area and what they offer (as well as what they do well, and what they could improve on) could help you choose the right location for your business, as well as help you uncover your unique selling point.

Whether your business is already up and running and you’re looking for a new premise, or you’ve only just started on your journey, finding the right location for your business is only the beginning.

6 Reasons to Try Cannabis Edibles

mm

Published

on

Are you looking for a reason to try cannabis edibles? If you’re wondering if there are benefits to edibles that you can’t get with other forms of cannabis, the answer is yes. Here are some of the best reasons to try cannabis edibles.

  1. Some edibles are boosted

When you smoke cannabis flower, you’re only getting cannabis. That’s not a bad thing, but there are brands that sell edibles that have been boosted with other ingredients. For instance, you’ve probably seen capsules with added herbs to help you sleep – the same is true for edibles. 

One of the newer enhanced cannabis edibles are the Bits adaptogen-boosted edibles. These new cannabis edibles contain just 5mg of THC per Bit so you don’t overdo anything. Each flavor is packed with a unique blend of adaptogens like ashwagandha, reishi, elderflower, lemon balm, ginseng, guarana, and rose hip.

Why adaptogens? Adaptogens have been proven to have a positive impact on the central nervous system by decreasing sensitivity to stressors. In other words, adaptogens reduce stress and anxiety and contribute to an overall sense of wellbeing. When you consume cannabis edibles boosted by adaptogens, you’re going to feel more relaxed.

  1. Edibles provide precise and consistent dosing

One of the best reasons to try edibles is for precise and consistent dosing. When edibles are made, the cannabis is thoroughly and evenly mixed in, so each serving has the intended dosage when the final product is made. In addition, premium cannabis brands like Verano lab test each batch to ensure quality and consistency with all of their products, including cannabis edibles. 

When you smoke flower, you won’t always get the same amount of THC. It’s nearly impossible to know how much THC or CBD you’re getting from smoking flower. Even when you smoke the same strain in the same amount, the THC and other cannabinoids are distributed unevenly throughout each bud. 

If precise and consistent dosing is important to you, then edibles are going to be your favorite cannabis delivery method.

  1. Edibles are tasty

Edibles taste good, so why not try them? It’s just like eating a snack or a treat, but with a purpose. If you’ve avoided trying cannabis tinctures or oil because you don’t like the flavor, that’s understandable. Edibles are different because the taste of cannabis itself can be easily masked. 

Brands go out of their way to come up with recipes that taste good because they know some people don’t like the strong flavor of cannabis. Edibles like brownies, cookies, and chocolate bars usually just taste like any other cookie, brownie, or chocolate bar. Premium cannabis brands will also use quality ingredients to produce the best cannabis-infused gummies, hard candies, and baked goods.

  1. Edibles are easy to carry

If you want to carry your cannabis around discreetly, that’s easiest with edibles. They usually come in smaller packages that you can fit into a pocket or bag, and edibles are easy to eat without anyone suspecting you’re consuming cannabis.

When carrying edibles, be smart about where you bring them. Make sure you know where you can and can’t have them. If you’re headed to the airport of a government building, for example, you’ll want to leave your edibles at home. 

  1. The effects of edibles last for a long time

Smoking flower is great when you need relief quickly, but when you want the effects to last a long time, edibles are your best option. When you ingest cannabis, it takes longer for the effects to kick in, but those effects will last for a much longer time. You also don’t need to consume as much cannabis to get these long-lasting effects.

Everyone is different, and the timing depends on a multitude of factors like our metabolism and whether you’ve eaten or have an empty stomach. However, in general, it takes between 30 minutes and 4 hours to start feeling the effects of edibles. From there, the effects can last a few hours or even up to twelve hours. This is why many people take edibles before going to bed – getting that full impact while they sleep makes them wake up feeling incredibly rested.

  1. Edibles are a great alternative to smoking

Although smoking cannabis is probably the most popular consumption method, it’s not for everyone. Edibles won’t expose you to the potentially harmful effects of smoking. If you’ve been avoiding trying cannabis because you thought you had to smoke it, edibles are the perfect opportunity for you to try cannabis. 

Already familiar with edibles? Try something new

If you’ve been consuming cannabis edibles for a while, maybe it’s time to try something new. If you’ve always been into baked goods, branch out and try some beverages, chocolate bars, or even an adaptogen-boosted cannabis gummy for example. There are plenty of edibles to choose from so you can be sure you’ll find something new that you can enjoy.
