If you are in the process of figuring out whether it is viable to move your business elsewhere then you are not alone. There are plenty of businesses out there trying to figure out which option is best.
There are plenty of pros and cons relating to moving your business and you need to also consider the costs involved. If you have a solid customer following then it might be worthwhile staying where you are for the time being. However, if you are not moving far away then they will always be able to find you with maps and directions. Take a look below to find out what you need to think about when it comes to moving your business.
Find A New Location
When you have decided that you are moving your business to a new location you need to find where you are moving to. Be aware that if you move too far you may need to start a brand new customer and client base all over again. A great commercial estate agent will be able to give you advice on amazing locations with lots of customer potential. Alternatively, if you find somewhere that you think is suitable on your travels then you could get in touch with that particular estate agent.
Declutter
Moving to a new location means you have an excuse to get rid of the stuff you no longer need. This could be furniture such as desks and chairs or files that are outdated and no longer needed. If you are looking into skip hire then make sure you don’t put any personal details or customer information into the skip. You are breaking GDPR rules if you do this, documents need to be disposed of the right way. However, a skip is great for all other bits and pieces that you need to get rid of.
Deep Clean
When the time comes to leave your current office or business space then it is essential you leave it in the same condition as you found it. This means you need to carry out a thorough deep clean so you don’t leave behind any germs or dirt. You might have regular cleaners that come in and clean your office at the end of each day. You could ask them to do a thorough clean once you move everything out as they will be able to reach the hard to clean areas.
Removal Van
Finally, you may be able to move the smaller items without a removal van but you will meet one to transport the desks and chairs to their new location. You may as well get a bigger van and then move everything, although it might take a few different trips to and from before it’s all done. If you don’t have a van to drive yourself then it might be worth looking into hiring a removal company. They will be able to load everything onto the van and drive it to its new office.
Hopefully you found some reassurance in this article that it is possible to relocate your business elsewhere. It might take some time and organisation but you will get there.
