Planning a Business Relocation
Planning a business relocation is no easy-feat, it takes a lot of time, effort and organization to make the process as rewarding and stress free as possible.
Along with the many benefits an office move can have on the business, and the excitement of a fresh start, moving office can also present logistical challenges. By following these 3 keys to planning a business relocation you will be able to plan, manage and execute a successful relocation:
Be realistic about what you can afford:
When choosing new office space, make sure you are fully aware of all your financial commitments within the lease. Not only do you have the rent to consider, there is the insurance, office design and build out costs, legal fees and ongoing office operating costs. To help you manage your business relocation costs, use the Moving Office Budget Planner to control your costs and avoid any overspend.
Choose the right Location:
Location is an important factor when choosing new office space. It needs to provide the right image, accessibility and community that enables your business to thrive. Issues to consider include transportation links, parking lots, visibility, neighboring tenants, traffic/footfall and proximity to clients.
Early Planning:
The key to every successful business relocation is the prior planning and organization. The moving office process needs to be broken down into manageable stages and tasks by using the Business Relocation Checklist. Assign tasks to people within your organization with whom you can rely on and who have the expertise to best execute the task. Hire Office Relocation Professionals to carry out the key stages of the office move and see to it that your business relocation goes smoothly and without any interruption to operations and communications.
