1. Choose the right retail premises to rent

Choosing retail spaces to rent is one of the favourite parts of the process for entrepreneurs, it signifies the culmination of their project or the resurgence of their business operations.

Choose your retail space in Luxembourg according to several factors:

• Your company activity
• The district in which the premises are located: are you looking to rent in Luxembourg-City, in the Cloche d’or quarter, Bertrange, Dudelange, Esch-sur-l’Alzette, Differdange...?
• The desire to develop operations in the immediate or distant future
• The presence of other businesses in the area: this will impact your appeal, positively if they bring potential customers to the quarter or negatively if they are competitor businesses
• Accessibility of your premises to potential customers: a premise ideally located close to road access, public transport, in the city centre… 
• The traffic flow: is it a busy street? 

2. What activities are permitted in the commercial premises?
