What country is the exchange located in? knowing your country and where the exchange is based out of is important, as laws and regulations can vary country to country.

Is the exchange reputable? If you want to make sure the exchange is on the up and up, check an Exchange Ranking List to see if they fall into the top rated bitcoin exchanges or not.
