Brick-and-Mortar Basics: Evaluating Space, Location, and Budget
Thinking about moving your business from idea to physical location—or from home-based to a dedicated space? This webinar will help you understand how to make smart, strategic decisions about where your business should live. You’ll get an overview of commercial real estate basics, leasing versus owning, and key factors to consider before signing on the dotted line.
We will discuss how timing, location, and space design affect your operations, customer experience, and long-term growth. By the end of this session, you will be better prepared to evaluate options, talk with landlords, brokers, and lenders, and choose a space that supports your business vision at every stage—from startup to established enterprise.
