Do you mean 'on premise' or 'on premises' ?
Premise
A premise is an idea or theory on which a statement or action is based. For example, in the argument “All humans are mortal; Socrates is human; therefore, Socrates is mortal”, the first two statements are premises and the last one is the conclusion. Premise can also be used as a verb, meaning to base a theory, argument, etc. on an idea, thought, or belief. For example, “He premised his argument on several incorrect assumptions”.

Premises
Premises is a plural noun that means the land and buildings owned by someone, especially by a company or organization. It can also mean the land and buildings on which something is done or used, such as a business, a school, or a restaurant. For example, “The company is relocating to new premises” or “There is no smoking allowed anywhere on school premises”
