A; yes. We have. We chose the location in the northeast of the city, not too far from the airport and on the edge of the CBD.
B; why didn’t we choose an office in the CBD?
A: the offices there were too expensive. Have we negotiated any contracts yes?
B; yes. We’ve signed two contracts with companies that we already do work for in other countries. We hope to sign another three this month.
A: when will the branch office open?
B: hopefully next month. Everything is a little rushed. We should be able to set up our branch office and expand our business quickly.
A; has and advertising campaign been prepared?
B; yes, it has. We’re going to target the business community through business magazine.
