You won't have to build too fancily at first aside from ensuring your lot is complete with full wallpaper and lighting, but eventually you'll want to buy exterior decorations and bright exterior lights to attract the most customers. While the specific style is up to you, you must create at least a small lot with a decent environment score. A lot with only a cash register and a single item on the ground is going to attract practically no attention. However, the Get to Work Expansion Pack calculates a lot's 'curb appeal.'

Ideally however, you'll be starting with §20,000 or more as if you're making a new house. In theory with few products and the cheapest lot, you could open your own shop for about §6,000. You cannot start a store on the Sim's home lot, but you do need an empty lot or a converted unoccupied house. First, the adage 'one must spend money to make money' is in full force for Sims.
