- Manufacturing based in homes rather than in factories, most common prior to the Industrial Revolution.
- These factors involve transporting materials to and from a factory. A firm seeks a location that minimizes the cost of transporting inputs to the factory and finished goods to consumers.
- The maximum distance people are willing to travel to use a service.
- A business that sells its products or services primarily to consumers outside the settlement.
- These factors result from the unique characteristics of a location. These are labor, capital, and land.
- The area surrounding a central place from which people are attracted to use the place’s goods and services (also known as market area).
- An industry for which labor costs comprise a high percentage of total expenses.
- An institutional arrangement designed to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions. Members of the fair trade movement advocate the payment of higher prices to exporters, as well as improved social and environmental standards.
- Shipment of parts and materials to arrive at a factory moments before they are needed.
- Economic activities that involve the processing of raw materials (primary products). Examples would include turning timber into furniture and turning iron-ore into steel.

- A community’s collection of basic businesses.
