Feng shui when applied to retail outlets, showrooms, shops or any other business establishment can bring in financial profits. In a business financial profits is imperative for its growth, however there are other factors that effect a business - employees/staff, legal hassles, proper customer care.
In this article I will be writing about how to bring in maximum profits into a business, have a healthy environment for your employees/staff and a growing list of satisfied clientele.
In a business establishment the main factors that determine the quality of feng shui are -
- Matching the business to the owner
- Matching the house and the business
- Opening date selection
- Main door
- Cash counter/ Reception
- Main person/boss office
- Kitchen/stove position
- Annual and monthly feng shui assessment
MATCHING THE BUSINESS AND THE OWNER
For any business to thrive the business has to be compatible with the owner. For this the individual's bazi needs to be analyzed. A bazi analysis can help in selecting the correct career option or business.
MATCHING THE HOUSE AND THE BUSINESS
This is one of the most important factors in business feng shui. It is ideal to have a square shaped house with none of the sectors missing however due to modern architectural design and space constraints this is not always possible. In such situations where you have to select between different properties to start your business venture it is advantageous to know which kind of building will be suitable for you.
The first step would be to judge the facing and sitting of the building and take accurate measurements. For those who donot know how to take accurate measurements click here .
The next step would be to divide the floor plan according to the eight sectors. For those who donot know how to divide the floor plan or draw a floor plan click here .
After you complete dividing the floor plan and know the facing direction of the building the next step would be to check for missing sectors. General rule is if more than 25% is missing then it is counted as a missing sector. In the floor plan below the southwest and west sectors are missing.

Had this been a real estate developer's office or an ayurvedic shop, this business would have failed miserably. Every missing sector reduces the effect of the star in that sector these stars have their own characteristics and these characteristics are important for the business to run smoothly.
