I'm a CPA in private practice, and have been involved in dozens of IRS audits over the years. The request by an agent to inspect business premises is quite common. My advice would be to have your representative present at that meeting, and have him or her answer all of the questions posed by the IRS agent. If you do need to answer any questions, you should treat the situation the same as a deposition. Namely, just answer the question asked, and provide no additional background information.
