Things to Look for When Locating Your Business

July 28, 2023 by Tim McMahon

Finding the perfect location for your business is crucial. It can make or break the success of your company. Whether you’re running a small café or a large corporation, choosing the right spot can be the difference between long-term success and failure.

So what should you be looking for when searching for the best location for your business? Here are some important factors to consider.

Demographics and Foot Traffic

Small Business StorefrontsUnderstanding your potential customer base and the foot traffic in the area is important. Consider your ideal target customer and what type of location will best serve their needs. Are they predominantly young people, families, or retirees?

Also, check the foot traffic of the area to understand how many people walk by your potential location. A location with a high volume of foot traffic is generally more desirable, no matter what sort of business you run.

Businesses that require a lot of foot traffic generally tend to be located in areas with high levels of pedestrian activity. This includes retail stores, restaurants, cafes and other businesses that require customers to come inside the establishment. These types of businesses benefit from being positioned where there is a large number of potential customers passing by on their daily activities.

Additionally, having an attractive storefront and ample signage can help draw more people into the business. Ultimately, businesses that require a lot of foot traffic should look for a location that is in an area with plenty of pedestrians and good visibility from the street.

Accessibility and Parking

Your location should be easily accessible for both you and your customers. Check any commercial real estate listing for good public transportation options, ample parking, and be accessible to drivers. If you do not have easy parking, you could limit the number of customers or employees who can come or create issues for those with disabilities.

If you find yourself in an area with limited parking, there are still ways to make your business accessible for customers and employees. You can offer incentives such as discounts or free parking vouchers to encourage people to use public transportation. You can also consider offering a valet service if possible so that customers don’t have to worry about finding a spot.

Additionally, you can look into working with local businesses to provide parking vouchers that are good for a certain amount of time. By taking these steps, you can help make your business more accessible and attract customers who may otherwise not visit due to parking issues.
