Free tools for the parts you can check yourself
Practical, no-login tools for lease costs, site visits and shortlist comparisons — useful on their own, and better alongside evidence.
These tools are free, work in your browser, and don’t need an account. They cover the parts of a location decision that are yours to observe and calculate — the lease maths, the site visit, the shortlist gut-check. A paid Roocation report does a different job: it adds the external, source-labelled evidence (demand, competition, demographics, catchment, access, reviews) that no checklist can collect for you.
Lease Reality Check
Understand the real scale of a property commitment before treating rent as the only cost — outgoings, upfront costs, rent increases over the term, and the sales needed to keep premises costs sustainable.
Site Visit Checklist Builder
Turn a casual walk-past into a structured observation process — a checklist tailored to your business type and the location’s setting, with room for notes and an honest “not checked” state.
Location Shortlist Scorecard
A simple manual workspace for comparing two or three locations on consistent criteria — your own observations, trade-offs shown before totals, and no forced winner when information is missing.
