Moving can be expensive and time consuming, if you haven’t determined all the details. Take your time in planning and the process will be a much more pleasant one.

Think About Why You're Moving
If you’re moving because of growth, ensure you can afford the higher rental costs. Most business leases typically range two to four years, unlike renting an apartment. Will moving also allow you to gain high enough profits to afford larger rent payments each month?

Anticipate Location Costs
Just as with an apartment rental, prices of business spaces will vary widely from location to location. Before moving, research the landlords background and reputation, property taxes, operating costs, monthly utilities, operating expenses and estimated expansion costs.

Understand the Effect on Productivity
Unfortunately, only large companies can afford to move with minimal downtime, if any. Your employees will have moving-related concerns to think about which will result in a loss of productivity. During the actual move, your business will likely come to a stop and no revenue will be generated for a few days or longer. Can your business afford this transition, at this time?

Research New Locations
It might be best to start with a list of requirements for your new space, prior to looking for possible spaces. Think about the environment you will need? Do you want better visibility, proximity to shopping centers or restaurants, major highways, a safer location perhaps?

Is the Neighbourhood a Good Fit?
You likely spend a lot of your time at your business location, so think about the move as if you were conducting a residential move. As a result, it’s important to consider the neighborhood crime rates, recreational opportunities, heat care costs, education facilities, climate and any other fact that could affect your business.

We can’t stress how important it is for you to give yourself enough time to plan your move. If you have a small operation, allow for about three months to prepare. If you need a larger office, aim for a preparation time of six to eight month’s. Remember that planning is key to a safe, efficient and stress-free move.

Get to know the Layout
Soon after choosing your new space, get a hold a the blueprints or a floor plan of your name space so you can plan the layout of your office. Determine if your current furnishings and equipment will fit within the space, or if your need to buy any new furniture.

You many find some issues with the new space you didn’t think about when you signed the lease. For example, you may have loved the open workspace when you did the initial walk through, but your employees prefer individual work stations. As a result you will need to hire a carpenter to construction these workpaces, Be sure to factor cost and the timeline into your plan.

If you have special space requirements be sore to account for this prior to your move. Example, if you have a medical office, you want to ensure you have enough space for large printers or other required machines to run your practice.

Keep Your Employees Informed
Have your employees in the loop and involved in the moving process. They will be much more likely to offer solutions to problems if they feel involved than if they feel worried about the move.

Having regular update meetings with your employees to let them know on the progress and schedule for the move. Ask that each employee responsibilities to help with the move. For example, each employee should be responsible for clearing out this or her own workstation.

Meet With Your Moving Company
When choosing a moving company, have a representative visit your office space to give you a quote. Your moving company will let you know how much a move will cost, how long it will take and how many movers you will need. Use your moving company’s estimate to help create your moving plan.

Announce the Move to your Customers
When choosing a moving company, have a representative visit your office space to give you a quote. Your moving company will let you know how much a move will cost, how long it will take and how many movers you will need. Use your moving company’s estimate to help create your moving plan.

Be sure to let your customers know you are moving long before you actually move. Mail out change of address forms, update your website contact information, and put up signs around the office to inform you customers of your move. Minimize customer loss and tell them ahead of time where you’re going.
