but how does cost of living affect a business.
sometimes you will need to purchase goods and services to stock up your business. when these goods are costly and expensive resulting from the increase of the prices,the purchasing power of such goods would be high it will be difficult for an entrepreneur to purchase such a goods for his business and this will lead in inadequate sales resulting in low standard of living.

The cost of living can affect a business in many ways from where to open up a new location to where employees should live.

The cost of living is the quantity of money required for one individual or family to purchase groceries, utilities, rent, transportation and other basic necessities.

The cost of living may vary by country and city; in some countries the cost of living can be significantly lower. There are many factors that contribute to this difference, including market economics and government-provided services such as public health care. Cost of living is typically highest in highly developed countries with expensive schooling systems because citizen incomes are typically higher than in developing countries with lower earnings potentials per capita.

There are many costs of doing business. There is a cost to starting up a business, there is a cost to operate and then there are also costs associated with hiring and retaining employees. A company will have to consider the cost of living when making decisions that affect the growth, location and overall operation of their business. Some of these decisions will include things like where to open new stores, how much money to pay employees or whether or not they should offer benefits such as health care or retirement plans. The easier it is for people to live in an area with a low cost of living, the better their chance is at getting hired by the company at a low wage because they can easily afford it with that low salary.

In my own views and opinion, the way cost of living affects a business is by either making the price of goods inflated or deflated.

If the cost of living in a particular region is relatively higher, then that simply implies that the cost at which goods are bought and resold will be higher. For s business which was operating in a region of low living standard, it may have to struggle with gaining extra funds before it can function properly and optimally.

The capital needed to begin a business may also be varying since the price of goods and different in the locations.

Basically, an increase in the cost of living greatly affects the level of patronage since consumers will not be able to conveniently afford goods they afforded conveniently previously because of the inflation of prices and this in turn will affect the productivity and boost of a business at a certain time.
