For various large and small scale businesses in India, the location from which they operate plays a vital role for their growth and efficiency in delivering products and services. No matter how good your business strategy is; if you cannot find a good place from where you operate it, it might not turn out to your expectations. There are several other factors that push you to change your current location and to move your business to a new city in India.
With growing number of startups and incubation centers around, here in India we often receive enquiries for commercial relocation services. Commercial relocation services are also offered by movers and packers companies who offer domestic home shifting services in India. But unlike domestic home shifting, commercial relocation require much more planning. Even a little bit of delays could turn out to be fatal because you don’t want to delay in service or product delivery.
Here’s my take on how changing location may affect a business.
Labor and work force issues
Among all these reasons the work force issue haunts a business more than anything else. You might be running short of qualified workers from some occupation especially those requiring technical expertise. Hence you would like to relocate to an area where you can easily find employees that fits the expectation of your organization.
To upgrade existing facilities
Outdated and undersized workplace can be another reason, since most of the business starts from a small garage or other small facilities, so they tend to move to a bigger and better place when they have proper funds and resources in place.
New avenues and reduced expenditure
Cost is a major concern in any business decision and hence plays an important role to help you decide whether or not to go for relocation. Especially for startups the cost of living and business expenditure widely varies among different cities in India. Therefore you should decide strategically on the locations before shifting. As an expensive city might be good for your business too, or a cheap city might not give the proper pace to your business that you are looking for. Hence you have to think from various perspectives before making your final decision.
Land costs
Many business officials decide to sell off their existing property and acquire new ones, and hence they got to shift their business to the new place. A less important property in your possession always plays as a trump card when you are struggling to breath in the highly competitive market. You can eventually save your business by selling an existing land property that has appreciated value and go for purchasing or renting a new one with a lower cost.
Other factors that affects the business
Factors like recreational opportunities, education facilities, crime rates, health care, climate conditions, political setbacks, quality / standard of life etc; are some of the other major factors that prosper or hinders the growth of an organization or business.
Things to consider before a commercial move
As I said in the beginning of this post, commercial relocation is way more complicated than a usually domestic home relocation and hence proper planning is essential. So have a detailed plan in place and secondly, always book a mover who can offer swift and secured commercial relocation service. Obviously you would want to resume your business operation as soon as you can and for this to happen, you ought to work with the best professionals in the trade.
For instance you are well aware of the pros and cons of your current location, but the same is not true for the location you are relocating to, so you better prepare yourself for the new challenges like traffic problem, political involvements, and employee mindsets in the new area you are going to get shifted into. Hence you should never rush things and take any hasty decision in a hurry.
Talk to a couple of commercial movers and ask for detailed plan
Talk security and efficiency because that matters the most
If there are sensitive data (assuming you are moving computers etc), discuss the privacy issues.
Discuss about insurance of goods
Possibly the time and money factor is also there as it may take some time (even a week long) to relocate to your new place, hence you should brace yourself to deal with the interruption in business. Although a mover packers company specialized in commercial shifting can help you with all your queries. Calm your senses and look at all the possible perspectives before making up your mind and booking a commercial relocation service for office shifting.
Over to you
Grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. This is human psychology, and we can’t help it. We often tend to move to a better location to find better opportunities be it business or finding a new job. We often consider moving to a new place as an opportunity to expand our business or improve our carrier. To do this we need to find proper movers Packers Company whom we can trust with all our official or personal goods.
