For a retail store, you will also need to consider the following:

1. choosing the best location that you can afford
2. getting all the licenses and permits to operate a store (from retail license to fire safety to zoning)
3. buying insurance to protect your business from fire, theft, and other unexpected circumstances
4. choosing the name of your store and your logo
