Top Things to Think about When Moving Business Premises

Posted on January 2, 2018 by ben

When you move your business, you can get a ton of extra space and you will also be able to take advantage of all of the extra resources that are available as well. The problem is that you will probably dread the actual moving day, and for this reason, you need to do everything you can to prepare for the big day ahead.

Budget

The first thing that you need to do when you are planning your move is budget. If you don’t budget then the whole thing will probably end up more expensive than it actually has to be. It doesn’t matter where you plan on moving, because you always need to do everything you can to hire a relocation agency. They will help you to organise the move and they will also help you to make sure that you don’t overspend. Some can even manage your fleet for you as well.

The best thing about relocation agents is that they can help you to get the support you need with your business rate, your rent and anything else of the sort. This ultimately means that you are not hit with any unexpected costs and it also means that you get the help and support you need when it comes to the refurbishment and design of your new premises.

Take your Time

It’s important that you take your time to plan out your office move. Moving offices isn’t as simple as moving houses, and you may find the complete process stressful if you don’t take into account all of the options that are available. It’s crucial to plan ahead so you can give yourself enough time to get everything sorted out.

You also need to make all of the decisions regarding your logistics while running your business, so make sure that you hire some moving services to help you with that.  They can also advise you on whether or not you will be able to do the whole thing in one journey, which will save you a lot of time and money.

Your Staff

You will need to book a couple of days off when you move premises so it helps to make sure that all of your staff are aware of this. You also need to make sure that you do everything you can to keep them up to date on this. Remember that time is money, and that the more time you spend moving, the more money you are going to pay out to your employees.

Of course, your staff will also need to have some directions to the new destination and they will also need to know where their offices are, so have a floor plan ready and make sure that your team know what is happening to the highest possible level. If everyone is on the same page then everything will run much more smoothly and it is a great way for you to make sure that you don’t run into any problems after the move.

So moving business premises isn’t easy, but if you follow the above tips, you can be sure to make the whole thing as easy as possible!
