Abstract: The relocation of a small business from an urban to a rural area is an atypical spatial trajectory considering the well-documented tendency towards spatial inertia displayed by small businesses. Based on an extended literature review and 10 case studies, we propose a typology of the relocation logics of relocating entrepreneurs and the businesses they run. We then identify the ways in which our empirical work contributes to a better understanding of the motivations and consequences of such trajectories. Finally, we formulate some proposals to improve the design of schemes to support this type of geographical moves and to attract relocating small businesses to specific rural areas.
