Shishir, Use the location_rpt type and index circles of the business and the distance they serve with this syntax: <field name="myfieldName">Circle(lat,lon d=degreesRadius)</field> Your query shape is then simply a point; use bbox query parser with d=0.
This approach should scale *great* at query time. Erick suggesting using function queries for filtering, which could work but the worse-case performance can be bad (e.g. no other filtering and tons of data). ~ David p.s.
