Moving to a New Office Location
Moving office can be an extremely stressful task, and if you are moving to a new office location, not only is it imperative to select the right location for your business, but it is equally important to ensure a smooth transition into the new space. In order to make the right decision, and be well prepared for the move, use our downloadable Office Space Checklist which highlights everything from what you should be looking out for when choosing a new office location, right through to prioritizing office facilities and assessing whether the building is suited to your needs.
Location is about more than just choosing a building. Perhaps for you, the reason for your office move is to land a better location for your busines. But consider these issues before choosing the location:
Cost
Most obviously, can you afford it? Moving to a better location might also mean higher office rental costs. Make sure these are factored into your Moving Office Budget.
Convenience
Your new office location needs to be easy to find with adaquate parking and close public transport links.
Safety
This is an increasingly important issue for both customers and employees. Does the building offer 24/7 security? If this is necessary for your business, be sure it's available.
Prestige
Would a downtown address add credibility? Your office location says a lot about you as a company, so make sure it creates the right perception
Traffic
Not as important for office workers as it is for retail, but it can add brand credibility and create awareness in the right location
Facility requirements
Do you have any special needs, such as high power consumption or specialized wiring? Do you need meeting space, or server space?
Zoning
Many cities have very strict zoning requirements. Make sure your business is even allowed there before you sign the lease!
Download your copy of the Office Space Checklist to make sure you've considered all the important issues when choosing the right location for your business.
