Streetview allows you to read banners and signs advertising commercial offices. There are at least five buildings with signs advertising various rental/leases on this Street alone. You can then use google local to see your competition in the area you are researching. From google maps, enter an address, then select streetview.

Move to USA: Review your business industry.
Choose an industry that parallels your interests, and that you can forsee yourself working in 20 years from now.
Move to USA: Choose your marketing niche.
Research the industry that interests you before deciding whether to open a new business, franchise an existing venture. There are also options for buying an existing business.
Move to USA: Do not commit to anything.
The U.S. Small Business Administration provides that if you select to purchase a franchise do not execute any agreement or make any payment until you investigate the disclosure document and have an attorney review the disclosure paperwork and franchise agreement and have an accountant review the target's financial paperwork.
Move to USA: pick your corporate/immigration lawyer before you make important decisions.
If you are not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you should email a qualified law firm to see if you could qualify to live and work in the U.S. based on a business investment. Many countries have investment treaties without a formal set minimum amount.
Even if your country is not listed as a treaty country, to qualify as an Immigrant Investor, a foreign citizen may invest between U.S. $500,000 and $1,000,000, depending on the unemployment rate in the target area, in a commercial venture in the United States that creates at least 10 new full-time positions for U.S. citizens or other lawful immigrants, not including the investor and his family.
Dependent on what country you are from, there may not be a set minimum dollar amount for the funding, but there are often informal amounts, which you may consult with an immigration lawyer. I offer free consultations through my website at: http://www.usavisastrategy.comhttp://www.usavisastrategy.com. The treaty list is posted on my blog at http://usavisastrategy.nowblogg.com/2010/07/01/want-to-move-to-usa-start-a-business/ It is also key to inquire whether you have any U.S. citizen relatives that may qualify you to live/work in the United States.
