Moving Office on a Shoe-String Budget
Moving Office Budget Saving Costs
For many businesses, an office relocation is a necessity in order to accommodate your growing business. However, many smaller companies may find the migration costs associated with moving too much for their budget, but the good news is - there are ways and means to relocate without it costing the earth!
Check out these moving office budget tips to make sure that you don't spend more money than you really need to:
What budget do you have?
First and foremost, you need to know how much money you do have available to move. Start by downloading the moving office budget template which outlines all the costs associated with an office move. You'll see that there are costs associated with office moving, IT relocation and design and build out, as well as monthly commitments such as rent, maintenance and insurance.
Office Space Requirements
Make sure you review all your office space requirements; including what facilities you are going to need, and the size of property. Taking on too much extra office space is likely to mean paying more than you really need to in monthly rent, so make sure that you calculate how much office space you need as accurately as possible using our Office Space Calculator.
Explore All Available Options
There are a number of different office space options available to your business, and you need to explore them all to ensure you choose the most cost-effective solution, and one that meets your budget. Office space options might include a shared office, serviced office or enterprise center for startups.
Hire In Office Relocation Expertise
You may be led to believe that you can do the entire office move yourself, without the need to hire external relocation providers such as a lawyer or an office moving company. But the opposite is actually true. Getting professional advice will ensure your move proceeds smoothly and reduces any downtime (which can actually cost you more!)
