Business Space Requirements
Business Space Requirements (10 points)

What are the physical location and equipment requirements for your proposed business?
Write your answer in paragraph form (3-5 paragraphs), using the questions below to begin to consider basic requirements. Submit your work to your instructor via the Dropbox.

- How will the space be used? Consider all types of uses: customers, inventory, display, office equipment, special event gatherings, processing, or production processes.
- What size should each type of space need?
- What are some physical requirements?
- How will customers arrive at this location? Is it a location that can be reached easily, or will it be a “destination”?
- What are businesses located nearby? Will this location support shoppers who want a one-stop approach to shopping?

Note: Depending on your business, specific requirements should also be listed. For example, if you are considering an Organic Foods shop, you may require a location and equipment that would allow you to sell fresh squeezed juice. This would require ample room, strategic access to electrical outlets, and a functioning beverage dispensary that would meet health code requirements.
