What is the average amount that a business can expect to pay for commercial rent?

There are too many possible variables to answer this question. Among other factors, it will depend on ... * How much space do you need? * Is this retail space or office space? * What part of the US or world are you located in? Try asking a new question with more details, such as "How much does 2000 square feet of retail space cost in the average American mall?" or "How much does high-end office space cost in downtown Manhattan?"
