Having a plan of how your business will be operated is important. Finding your location is the next step. I would draw a circle on a map that represents how far you are willing to drive to work every day. You can than drive around looking for vacant spaces or I suggest that you find a local commercial real-estate agent and tell the agent your requirements and the areas that you have established that you are interested in. The agent will give you a substantial list to choose from. Get demographic reports on all of them, rate them by 1, 2 and three mile radius. No you can start evaluating the best locations based on other requirements. Parking, accessibility, visibility, space size, TI allowances, cost PSF, available AC and Electrical and so on.
