Moving and relocating your place of business can be exciting and re-energizing for owners. Yet, dealing with the inevitable junk removal can be a challenge.
Every year, opportunities for better (or bigger) locations present themselves to many entrepreneurs, and a change of place often promises new growth. Consequently, they move to a new place where they hope to find better business success than they had in their previous location.
How many owners are relocating businesses?
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that approximately 40 million Americans relocate each year, and the U.S. Postal Service processes about 38 million change-of-address forms annually. Although there are no official records of business moves, it is a known reality in business that, at some time, most businesses will consider relocating as a way to expand.
Depending on the type of business you own, the particulars of your move can vary widely from others. Manufacturers with inventory, machinery and raw materials will have a different set of concerns than the real estate brokerage with little in the way of equipment to move. But every business has some shared considerations.
The following is a suggested checklist for relocating businesses or planning a move:
2-3 Months Before the Move:
1 Month Prior to Move:
2 Weeks Prior to Move:

In addition to updating vendors and clients about your new address, don’t forget to change your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) information with Google. Simply updating address information in your Google My Business listing won’t be sufficient. Google pulls information from a nearly infinite number of sources, including Yelp, Yellow Pages, City Search, Local.com and Acxiom.
In addition to fixing your data with Google, you’ll need to fix your data on sites that supply directories with this data. Moz recommends visiting Infogroup, Localeze and Acxiom to check for out-of-date information as well as creating accounts on all major search engines to update your old listings.
You can also use Google Map Maker to directly edit Google’s maps. Once your edit is approved, the new information will show up on all Google map searches.
