• Whether youre starting a new business or looking
  to grow, the right commercial property is a key
  component of your success. You want to make sure
  you have plenty of space and are in a location
  that suits your businesss needs. Searching for
  the right property takes time, which can be
  stressful if youre trying to stick to a
  deadline, but knowing what to look for can help
  you find the perfect commercial space you need to
  thrive. Here are a few tips for narrowing down
  your search.

• Zoning
• Before you start scouting locations, its
  important to know local zoning laws in potential
  neighborhoods. Thats because they regulate what
  kind of activities are allowed in certain areas.
  You dont want to be stuck with a lease on a
  building you cant use. Depending on your
  business, it also helps you narrow down potential
  locations as well.

• Location
• Location is key when it comes to business. Things
  like accessibility, nearby competitors, parking
  and neighborhood safety are all important things
  to consider when looking at properties. Before
  you consider signing a lease, research the
  neighborhood to make sure it offers foot traffic
  for example, if thats important to your business.

• Price
• You want to make sure youre getting a good price
  on your rent, and you want to stay within your
  budget. Check with your local Small Business
  Development Center to help find funding to make
  sure you can handle your rent.
• Use a property management company
• Looking for the right property on your own can be
  a lengthy process. If youre trying to stick to a
  timeline for opening your business, working with
  a property management company helps. They can
  speed up the process by showing you available
  listings with your goals in mind. That way you
  find the right property and stay on schedule.

• Go over the lease
• Commercial leases can come with a lot more
  specifics than residential leases. Depending on
  what kind of business you have, you want to make
  sure theres no restrictions that can limit or
  hinder your operations and day-to-day functions.
  Luckily, leases can be tailored to meet specific
  needs and functions. While there may be specific
  clauses about operating hours, on-site equipment
  and clientele, you can likely negotiate on
  upgrades and on-site maintenance.
