Stay Or Go? You Should Know!

Posted on October 8, 2017 by ben

Most people don’t spend their life living in one place. As your life changes and develops, different locations can offer more to you, and the old ones can often become challenging. As a result, some people will move as often as every year. Of course, though, moving isn’t an easy job, and having a business to move with you will make it a lot harder. So, to help you out, this post is going to be going through some good reasons to move your business, along with some of the bad.

Reasons To Move

When you have a long-term contract or customer waiting to buy from you, moving can often be a very wise decision. You already stand to benefit from the relocation, as you have a guarantee of income going long into the future, but this could also open new routes for your company, as well. You should always do a lot of research before moving for this reason.

In some places, costs like properties, bills, and even employees could make a move a promising option. If your research indicates that your business will be able to get the same amount of work in your new home, you could see yourself with a lot more in your pocket. With this help of some interstate removalists, even a cross-state relocation could be enough to make a difference. A good business manager will be able to help you assess a location properly.

Reasons Not To Move

A lot of people decide to move home simply because they like the idea of some change in your life. For those with normal jobs, this sort of decision is easy to make, as work will be easy to find before they go. But, being self-employed, you have to take your business into account. Your dream location might not be any good for the company you’re running, and won’t give you the chance to make what you need, and this is a critical consideration to make.

There’s a big difference between a guarantee and a promise. You should never move based on someone’s word, even if they are someone you know and trust. A contract is the only true guarantee you will get any work at all in your new home. So, it’s very important to get your hands on a document like this before you go.

When business isn’t going well, and you’re struggling to make ends meet, it can be easy to make excuses and try new ideas, even when they aren’t the route of your issues. In a lot of cases, moving to improve a struggling business will only make your life harder. Instead, it can be much better to put your time into improving your current idea, while also investing in good marketing. It’s very rare that a new location will save a company.

Hopefully, this will give you a good idea of the right sort of motivation to have behind moving your business. Of course, there are loads of reasons to get started somewhere else. But, without the right research, background, and arrangements, this sort of challenge will be hard to overcome, even if you’re already doing well.

My good friend Ben started this site many years ago.  Ben said this about himself, “am a follower of Christ, a rabid computer geek, small business owner, and breaker of things. He is married way above his station in life and has three wonderful children who have made driving him insane their mission in life.”

Well back in 2019, Ben suddenly passed away from cancer and he asked me to continue the site. I like Ben, am a follower, a computer geek, a small business owner, and the father of 5 great children.

I miss Ben everyday but run this site in his honor. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
