5 tips for successfully relocating your business<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Your rent has been creeping up year on year, desk space is so short you\u2019re practically sitting on top of each other and, in all honesty, you\u2019re just downright sick of the grim view of a car park from your window\u2026
\n\u2026it\u2019s time to relocate your office.
\nTo make it as stress-free and successful as possible, we\u2019re sharing five top tips for managing the move with ease. Take a look.<\/p>\n

#1: Be honest with your team – Relocating your business<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not everyone is going to be happy about the office relocation, so be careful and considerate when breaking the news to your employees. Make it clear that their jobs are safe, that their rights will be respected<\/a> and be honest about the reasons behind the move.
\nAfter the dust has settled, create and display a moving schedule so that everyone can stay up-to-date with what\u2019s going on (it\u2019s also a helpful way of keeping yourself organised). It’s best to come up with a plan by consulting professional movers like United Van Lines<\/a>\u00a0to make your move as painful as possible.<\/p>\n

#2: Know what you\u2019re looking for – Relocating your business<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Think about everything annoying or stressful about your current office \u2013 maybe it\u2019s the lack of parking outside, the dingy meeting room you\u2019re embarrassed to show clients or even just the lack of natural lighting.
\nDoing so will help you figure out exactly what it is that you\u2019re looking for from a new workplace, making the actual property hunt much simpler. Remember to also come up with a strict budget, so that you can start the search fully aware of how much money you\u2019ve got to spend.<\/p>\n

#3: Start the search online – Relocating your business<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve put together a checklist of everything your dream new office will provide, you can start the fun part of actually finding it.
\nSo that you don\u2019t end up going on hundreds of pointless viewings, we recommend narrowing your search on Shop Property\u2019s online database<\/a>. It lets you whittle down results according to price and location, so you can quickly find the best commercial property for rent in your budget.<\/p>\n

#4: Delegate packing responsibilities – Relocating your business<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it comes to packing up your office, assign key responsibilities (like taking care of sensitive paperwork or overseeing certain departments) to individual staff members \u2013 it\u2019s a great way of making them feel engaged in the move.
\nFor the actual moving part, hiring a professional removal company<\/a> is a good shout. They\u2019ll have done it a hundred times before, and their experience will hopefully prevent any silly breakages or mistakes happening in transit.<\/p>\n

#5: Notify all the correct people – Relocating your business<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although keeping customers and clients in the loop is important (if only so you can warn them of likely delays in projects), the admin doesn\u2019t stop there.
\nThere are lots of other people you also need to notify of your change of address, including service providers, insurance companies, your banks and the post office. Let them know what\u2019s going on as early as possible.
