Most folks would prefer doing businesses in urban areas over the availability of a larger market due to the larger population of cities and towns. However the business in rural areas also does relatively well. Which one do you prefer?

I think what you should consider when looking for where to locate your business should be your target audience. Are your target audience found in rural places? If yes then you can set your business there.

That depends on your target customers. I think for those selling staple foods and necessities such as toilet papers are doing well in both urban and rural area.

There are items in urban not found in the rural areas,but I believed prices in rural stores are bit cheaper than in urban due to many factors.

Urban area is more preferable because of dense population and other essential factors in the city. Though it depends also the type of business. If you are selling agriculture related products, rural area is more preferable.

Urban locations typically have a greater population and a more broad spectrum of clients, allowing a firm to tap into a larger market. However, metropolitan regions often have greater living and business costs, such as higher rent and wages.

Rural locations, on the other hand, may have a smaller population and consumer base, but they also frequently have cheaper living and business expenditures. Furthermore, certain sorts of enterprises, such as agriculture or tourism, may thrive in rural locations.

Finally, the location of a firm will be determined by aspects such as its type, target market, and availability of resources. Before making any decisions, it is critical to thoroughly investigate and examine all choices.

Running a business is an urban area is better because of the larger number of customers you can get. There are some that will thrive in rural areas, like foodstuffs and medicines.

I think it depends what kind of business that it should be done by an entrepreneur. Not all businesses can be done in urban areas, especially if it is related to agriculture.

The business in the urban areas will sell better this is because the areas are filled with a lot of activities and there are lot of people living there which will increase the number of customers.

That's why one would need to understand the environment he or she finds himself in and know the kind of business that would work in the area. There are businesses that work in the rural area and there are businesses that work in urban areas.

The rural areas might have a little bit of low patronage for businesses that have to do more beyond basic survival. Business in the rural areas should be tailored to be basic.

There are some business that will flourish in rural areas and will not flourish in urban ares. So it depends on the kind of business it is.

It depends on the product that you are selling in the location where you find yourself with your business and I believe that both of them actually sells well as long as you know how to get your product to your targeted customers.
