As a business owner the need to relocate or expand to another office can be for various reasons but the actual task of moving your business to a new location is best handled by long standing professionals like Seamen’s Moving. There are several important tasks to realize and accomplish whether you are expanding or relocating in order to ensure the smoothest transition possible.

Communication is Key!

• Update various business pages such as your Google, Facebook, Yelp!, and LinkedIn profile – Don’t forget to update your personal website as well
• Set up the proper voicemails before the move so that if customers call they know that you might not be available because of the transition, using call forwarding to a work cell phone can be very helpful too
• Alert your employees to the move as early as possible. If expanding, you are going to want to put your hardest working and trust worthy employee in charge of this branch. If relocating, the move might be unrealistic for some employees so you will have to find new hires. The sooner you tell them the more time you give yourself to find potential new employees and this will make parting with current employees less painful

If you are moving your business it is important to realize that you should be able to keep both locations open for about a month simultaneously because of logistical issues like the update of your information to be delayed in things such as mail. Immediately closing the old location can seem like a good idea at the time because it appears to be save money but it can cause avoidable issues in the future. The moving service you hire is also one of the most important decisions you will have to make even though it might seem insignificant when you begin to plan the relocation.
