Find a business location
Your business plan will help guide what kind of space you need for your business. If you’re selling print-on-demand t-shirts, you may only need to find space in your home for a small workspace, a desk, and a laptop. On the other hand, if your business requires in-person retail space, you’ll need to find a place to rent.
To help narrow down what you need from your business location, consider these questions:
How much space will you need for inventory?
If you’re accepting deliveries of thousands of items at once, you may not be able to accommodate them in your living room.
Do you plan on offering in-person retail sales?
Selling out of your home is certainly an option for your first orders, but if in-person is an important channel, you’ll want to find space that’s comfortable and easily accessible for customers to visit.
Will you be packing and shipping orders from your location?
Depending on the scale of your shipping operations, that may necessitate more space than you have available in a home office.
It’s possible you’ll be able to run your business from a space you already have available, especially if you don’t plan to sell in-person.
