Knowing When The Time Is Right To Relocate Your Business.

As you evaluate your current office design, do you know the areas in which you can improve? Being aware of the signs that spell 'relocation' will help you to understand that a move will be best for your business. With this in mind, here are some signs to look out for, that will indicate that the time is right to think about relocating your business:

• Lease Expiry – For many businesses, entering the final year of their current lease offers the ideal opportunity to evaluate their current location and to think about whether it is helping – or even hindering – the businesses and its employees. Considering aspects such as the space and the facilities on offer are crucial, as is the current lease itself. Does it offer value for money? Can the business get a better deal, in a better location elsewhere?

• The Need For More Space – Even if you're happy with your current deal, is the space offered too restrictive? Are staff packed in together? Are there enough meeting rooms or breakout areas? Is the size of the office preventing you from taking on much-needed extra staff? There are so many aspects to think about in regards to space – but any of these signs should indicate that your current location simply isn't fit for purpose.
  A larger space will give you the opportunity to incorporate the right facilities that are needed to make your business a success. With enough room for staff to comfortably go about their work, using equipment that can be better accessed and able to undertake meetings in, will no doubt help to up the rate of productivity and the work produced.

• The Location – Many businesses may have more than enough room in which to operate, but the location they're in isn't favourable for staff and visitors to get to. Whether it's located in an area with poor transport links or there isn't great parking facilities, it may be advantageous to think about relocating to a new office. Not only will a better location help to cater for travelling employees and clients alike but being present in a location that is assessable and attractive, will give you scope to attract future employees and business.

• A New Start – Sometimes, a change will do you good. Moving your office will give you the perfect opportunity to shake things up and hone the results (in this instance, your office interiors in Mayfair or wherever) to how you want them to be; putting your own mark on the environment that you have to work in, day-in, day-out. A change can spark new life into your business and boost the feeling amongst your team, as they'll feel like they've been invested in and as such, the new facilities will help to improve their own working practices. This can only be a great plus for the business.
