Short explanation
A strong answer here, Explain how availability of raw materials and labour can influence business location sits within Location factors and Business location for AQA GCSE Business 8132. Use a business such as RiverRun Catering serves online shoppers while training staff; the case evidence includes customer retention of ?10,865, sales of 150 units, and a 44% change in costs or demand to keep the explanation applied. The important reasoning is to connect location, labour, raw materials with the business objective, the financial implication, and the effect on shareholders. Avoid treating internal and external finance as the same thing. A high-quality answer should explain the commercial trade-off, use precise evidence, and finish with a judgement that depends on the context rather than a generic definition.
