RETAIL/COMMERCIAL LOCATIONS 

Checklist for Selecting the Right Retail/Commercial Site for Your Small Business

Location can make the difference between small business success and failure. The right location will increase volume from key customers whether they are walking or driving. Be sure that your location has ample parking (for now and later), and neighboring businesses will help generate customer traffic. Safety and security are also important factors in commercial or retail site selection.
