Explanation:
or
A/The merchant might not even have a permanent office. [in the case that the коммерсант is more of a retail, day-to-day deals with customers type of коммерсант, rather than a suit-and-tie type of corporate коммерсант or бизнесмен]

or
The Kommersant (newspaper) might not even have a permanent office. [ :) ]
