My husband and I are looking to relocate and start a small business. We're looking for information about the state of Rhode Island itself as well as this particular city. We've found a nice commercial property we are interested in and would like to pursue. Before we even start we want to know if this is a bad idea.? Is Rhode Island terrible to small business? Is this a "tourist-ey" state? What are the pros and cons of living here? What are some things people like about small businesses in general? do you wish there were more around the area? I know this is slightly scatterbrained but we would love to know what people think and if we should just keep dreaming elsewhere. Thanks!
