For businesses that have outgrown their premises, the solution seems relatively simple to obtain: consult the available options as discussed here at forjmblog.com to rectify the problem, make the decision, act upon it, and wait for your business’ new life in new premises to begin.

 

Unfortunately, this isn’t quite the end of the story. Whether you have chosen to move into new, larger premises, or extended your existing space, you’re now faced with the task of actually settling into those premises. To ensure this process is as smooth and simple to manage as possible, below, we’ve put together a few tips that can help you adapt to your new premises in a variety of different ways…

 

Check for bureaucratic changes

 

First and foremost, it’s important to check to see if there are any bureaucracy-related changes you need to make to your business once your larger premises are up and running. These changes could be related to health and safety; you may find that you need to add more fire extinguishers or safety exits in a larger building. Alternatively, they could be tax-related changes; you can discover more at BSWLLC.com today on the possibilities in this area. By checking all bureaucratic changes are made as the first port of call, you can be sure your new premises start life on the best possible metaphorical foundations.

 

Focus on continuing as you were…

 

… rather than branching out to make use of your new space.

 

This advice may sound a little strange; after all, you’ve changed your premises to embrace the possibilities of a larger space, so why not get to using it as soon as possible? Unfortunately, this rarely produces decent results: instead, you’ll find yourself struggling to establish the ‘basics’ and pushing forward with a raft of new measures at the same time. The result is rather messy and can mean that both your existing operations and any new plans you have for the space both take far longer to put into practice than you expect.

 

Instead, focus on getting your business up and running comfortably as it was. When you’re able to manage all business operations with the same level of efficacy as you did before the move, begin to expand and really make use of the enhanced space.

 

Alternatively…

 

The tip above is useful if you have moved into new premises, but what about if you have just chosen to expand your existing premises? As your business is already up and running, you don’t need to worry about re-establishing your business – but do be gradual with how quickly you look to move into the new space nonetheless. Give your business a little time when the building work is complete – at least a week, if not more – and then begin to move into the new areas gradually.

 

Hold back on decorating

 

The first step to adjusting to a larger space is to get the business running well; the second is to decorate that space – or at least, that’s how it should be. Many business owners try to do both at once in an effort for greater time efficiency; it seems easier to add paint and decorative touches before you begin moving desks into an office, for example.  

 

This, however, is not the case; trying to do both at once may seem more efficient, but it’s more likely to complicate matters. By all means, prioritize the decor of customer-facing areas of the business; for example, if you run a retail store, you could consult Shopify.com for tips on creating a great interior, or add decorative flourishes to reception and lobby areas. However, for any space that is only accessed by staff, decoration should be at the bottom of your to-do list.

 

In conclusion

 

If you can keep the above points in mind, you should find your business adjusts to life in its new premises as quickly and efficiently as possible – good luck!
