Impact fees, code requirements and permits - Oh my! It may take more time and money than expected to open a business.

There's often costs that businesses don't know about when looking for a brick and mortar location and these do not get factored into the businesses budget and business plan. This can lead to a business being severely delayed in opening or in extreme cases not opening at all.

Have you ever seen a sign for a new restaurant on a building and wonder why 6 months or a year later it's still not open? A lot of the time it's because of these unexpected costs. These hidden costs can come from code requirements, impact fees and/or the permitting process. These delays can be avoidable and there's now a company serving the Greater Orlando area that may be able to help.

Regan Planning and Permitting helps local businesses find ideal locations that meet City or County requirements to get a business open faster, avoiding or reducing those unexpected costs. We aim to figure out if the location is well suited for the business and let the business know about any potential added costs that may occur before they move in or during the build out stage. 

We look through a whole list of criteria such as zoning, parking, building and fire requirements to name but a few. This can help businesses decide if the location is right for them prior to signing a lease or purchasing a property in order to open faster and minimize red tape.
