As mentioned above be sure about the longevity of your impact area if you don't own it. Present or future construction encroachment can be a detriment to the business. This has severely hampered and shut down many ranges.
There are engineering and administrative controls that can be implemented to keep projectiles on the range such as taller backstops and baffle systems. These tend to get expensive to engineer and build though.
All it takes is for a disgruntled neighbor to complain to the local government and it's on from there. Google "gun range shut down" for examples. It doesn't matter if there are bullets actually leaving the range or not, after the attorneys get involved they will come out the most enriched in the end.
BTW, I own a private membership range.
