Relocating a business is much more complicated than a residential move. You will need to consider the costs of doing business in the new area with concern to taxes, permits and construction costs, as well as address the concerns of your staff and management team. By taking the time to develop a detailed business relocation plan, you will help to control costs and avoid any surprises.
Step1
Define the reasons why you wish to relocate your business. For instance, you may want to either expand or downsize your business in response to product sales, or you may want to take advantage of reduced business costs in another state. The reason for your move will dictate the steps you will take to develop the right relocation plan.
Step2
Decide where you would like to move your business, and why. Certain towns or cities may offer financial incentives to companies to relocate to their areas, which may make financial sense to you. Contacting the local Chamber of Commerce, and notifying them of your intentions to relocate your business, should be an important first step in developing your plan.
Step3
Have alternate plans every step of the way when you develop a relocation plan for your business. Since relocating your business involves dealing with many other entities, such as local governments, corporate relocation services, building contractors and even your own employees, you need to be prepared for the unexpected. Always have a back-up plan, or even a back-up to the back-up plan.
Step4
Develop a relocation plan that protects your core business as much as possible. Your motto during the entire moving process should be "business as usual." You will know that your business relocation has been successful when your customer base is relatively unaware of the change, since there was no interruption to their services.
Step5
Hire a business relocation service to help plan your move. This type of company will attend to all of the details that might otherwise slip through the cracks, such as the transfer of telephone and Internet service, the moving of all furniture and office equipment, the disposal of all trash and debris generated by the move and even recruitment services if the staffing needs of your business change with the move.
