Where to Open Your Business

Deciding where and when to open your new business is often one of the most difficult decisions a business owner faces. These decisions may also be the most important ones, because the ultimate success of the business can hinge on where it's located and when it's opened. To work through these decisions, choose one of the following:

• Choosing whether to lease office space or work from home
• Choosing the best geographic location for your business
• Negotiating a lease for your office or business establishment, if that's your decision
• Looking at business incubators
