Hundreds of years ago, our elders used to do business peacefully and with modest profit, and they provided services in the same spirit. Today, however, the very definition of business has changed, in ways we could hardly have expected. Everyone runs after money ruthlessly, and there is little friendly competition left in business. Many problems have arisen as a result, such as labour disputes, hooliganism, red tape, and power cuts. Numerous shopping malls have sprung up to attract ordinary customers, yet the core principle of business remains the same: to keep one's word and honour the guarantees made to consumers.

The owner of the shop or a salesman should sit facing north or east. Sitting facing south or west tends to create problems and cause losses. In a public market, however, south-facing shops are auspicious if there are other shops facing them.

The northern direction brings good results in business, so special attention should be given to the northern portion of the shop, as it can help generate more profit.

Many shopkeepers and businessmen have been found to be facing losses despite their hard work.

A shop is suitable for good business if the approach road comes from the south-eastern side. Being at the focal point of a street also gives good results for a shop, as people are naturally drawn to it.

A "Simhamukhi" (lion-faced) shape is one where the width of an office or shop is greater at the front and narrower at the back. This kind of shape is beneficial and auspicious for commercial business.

Making a bore-well or constructing a water tank on the southern side is not suitable; it can ruin the owner and lead to poor cash flow. The marketing department should be placed in the north-western direction.

If you place a few idols or pictures of gods where they are reflected properly in a mirror, it will bring a noticeably improved financial condition. Installing a fountain in the north-east of the office is also good. Keeping an aquarium with nine gold-coloured fish and one black-coloured fish on the north-eastern side of the office premises is beneficial for business.

The main door of a shop should not have any slope, as this reduces the chance of profit. A holy symbol should be displayed on the shop's wall. The cash counter should be placed toward the north, and the money box should never be left empty.

The shop's floor must be kept neat and clean and should also be attractive in appearance. Placing idols of Lord Ganesha and Laxmi on the right-hand side or in the north-eastern side is auspicious.

Heavy items must be kept in the south-western portion of the shop, and it is considered auspicious to keep the north-eastern side empty. Any obstacle in front of the shop is inauspicious, as it creates trouble for the business, so such obstacles must be avoided.
