Location: for only 20 seats even a house will do. In fact, I would recommend it because you will have restrooms, etc. that are not dependent on a shopping center's flakey infrastructure. Try to get a location where your employees can get to and from easily. (fairly central)
Internet service: if you took the above advice about a central location then this should not be a problem, but confirm with the ISP you will be using before you sign a lease. Verizon's metro fiber is probably the best for voice over IP right now.
Blackouts: Will be problem wherever you are. If not now then later. You need inverters and a generator. Get 2 Xantrex 3.6KW inverters and use one for half your computers, one for the other half. Leave everything else on the regular circuit and run that with the generator. Get 8 batteries for each inverter and only use them to give you time to turn on the generator. 8 Batteries is mega overkill for just turning on a generator but you need it for occasions where you will have to refuel, change oil or whatever during a blackout.
Thats about as much free consulting as I care to do on vacation.
