Moving Your Business
There are a variety of reasons why businesses move: expansion, lower costs, new markets, etc. This can be an overwhelming process so we have compiled a list of important items to remember when moving your business.
Stay Organized
Assign the task of moving coordinator to a member of your staff. This person can create and monitor a packing timeline to help your office stay organized. Check with your current and future buildings about any requirements such as scheduling the loading dock and/or elevator. Label your boxes and furniture to ensure smooth unpacking in your new office space.
Change of Address
Make sure to change your address to the following 1 month prior to moving:
Website
Social Media: Facebook, LinkedIn & Instagram
Google Places
Yelp
Bing Business
Yahoo
Industry Organizations
Local Chamber of Commerce
Bank
Vendors
Post Office
Insurance
Marketing Material
Make sure that all print materials have been updated such as business cards, letterhead, flyers, and brochures. Also any templates and email signatures.
Upgrade Equipment
This is the perfect time to evaluate your office equipment. Consult with your IT company to see what should be updated and what can stay. They can also help you prepare your computers and servers for the move. We recommend the local company My IT Solutions to help you with your IT needs during your move.
