Any business owner likely knows that moving to a new office typically involves many steps. That’s why it’s important to coordinate with a reliable commercial removals company. They’ll help you complete what can be an otherwise overwhelming task with efficiency.
However, because this task usually involves a range of steps, it’s often easy to overlook certain steps you may not have considered. The following are merely a few examples worth keeping in mind. If you’re planning on moving to a new office in the near future, don’t forget to address these components of the process.
Alerting Clients
You can spend so much time letting all your employees know about the schedule for moving to your new office that you forget to let all your clients know you’re relocating. This is a mistake for obvious reasons. First of all, the process of moving to a new office takes time. There will likely be a period when you can’t respond to clients as reliably as you normally do. You’ll make the wrong impression on clients if they try to get in touch, only to find you’re unavailable.
Clients also simply need to know how they can contact you in general. If you forgot to alert a client when moving to a new office, they might try to contact you at your old one, resulting in confusion.
Changing Stationery
Most businesses have stationery, documents, and other materials that include their office address. You want to make sure these materials are up-to-date. Again, you may confuse clients if you were to mail a document that listed your old address instead of your new one.
Avoid this by ordering new materials ahead of time. If you forgot to do so until you moved to your new office, you would have to complete orders very fast once you realise your error. This could distract you from focusing on other, more important tasks.
Communicating Building Rules
This may not be important to remember if you own the new building to which you are moving. However, odds are good this isn’t the case. Thus, you need to acquaint yourself with all relevant building rules and policies.
You also need to make sure your employees understand these rules. While there may not be any specific policies your employees are likely to violate, you still need to let them know what the building owner’s expectations are. For instance, perhaps employees are only permitted to access the building during certain hours. It’s crucial that they know this.
