As an owner for a big robotics industry, mostly based Eartside, he would want something populated, cosmopolitan and with good comunications with Europe. At this date, the stations of Cislunar Space are mostly private (plus, he'd want to be further form O'Neill)-, the big ones like Genaros or Central should still be under construction. Port Luna is for all purposes an American city, wich sort of beats the purpose of movind away form the Dane authorities. Moonbase Alpha is the place for heavy industry, but it is also, not to put too fine a point, ugly as sin.
I suspect as he arrives quite early, he'd at least start in Old Kandor.
Maybe he will get a chance to know Vulpine Fury?

station projects meant for commerce: Genaros and Central, but also John
Henry and Meetpoint; he couls own a sizeabel percentage of space in one
of these stations.
Genaros is not somewhere Arthur would want to live, and he wouldn't inflict living there on any of his employees. Though, I think Arthur would be enthusiastic about getting regular updates of the 'Metaverse' VR system.
Central sounds more his sort of place - he's been called a 'Euro Socialist'.
As for Arthur being 'big business', he'd be starting small, but he's considering a number of new ventures which could be quite lucrative. I wonder how an 'off-Earth' rated version of the "Wright Frame" would do? Would people pay $50k for a working hard tech robot frame?
