Things to consider when relocating your business
PallMallWhen moving your business premises there are plenty of issues to
bear in mind to ensure the continued success of your company.
There may be a number of reasons you wish to relocate - your
target audience may be further afield, your rent may be too high or
you may be simply looking to expand and further your business
reach.
Certainly your most important consideration is your target
consumer. Always research your target market to ensure that you
remain in reach of consumers most likely to use your services. The
worst case scenario is that you relocate away from your consumers
and experience a potentially crippling drop in revenue.
Without spending mega bucks on television, radio and newspaper
advertising you may experience a period of time in which consumers
take time to find your new premises. It is important that your new
business location is visible in a physical sense and preferably in
a well-populated area that is easy to find.
The cost of rent is a factor that many businesses must weigh up
before relocating their business. If the cost of rent in new
premises is higher then you must be confident that your new
location will draw in new business whilst maintaining a percentage
of current consumers willing to travel the extra distance to
purchase your products.
The security of your neighbourhood is also a mitigating factor
as your work force will spend a considerable period of time in your
new premises each day. If your new location has a reputation for
high crime levels you may find it difficult attracting new
employees, while you will also run the risk of getting burgled and
losing valuable stock in the process.
While not every move works out in business, careful planning and
research can ensure a successful expansion for years to come.
