Business Startup/Research

Hannibal's Historic Downtown can be the perfect or the worst location for your business.  A well developed market research study should be accomplished before you decide where to place your business.  You should at minimum research:
  • Hannibal resident buying habits
  • all Hannibal shopping district foot traffic
  • Hannibal visitor/tourist statistics
  • cost of doing business in different districts of Hannibal
  • conduct product surveys
  • conventional business type areas (industrial, retail, etc)
You are welcome to contact us for assistance in any effort to build or place your business in the Historic Downtown area of Hannibal.

You may also find the business Info page at the City of Hannibal web site useful for license and permit requirements and information.  www.hannibal-mo.gov
