Now,  Moving Your Home Business To Your 1st Office / Warehouse – what must you consider?

So, as with all things in business and your personal life, planning is essential here. 

If you are in the startup phases, it might be wise to hold off on taking customers or expanding your current offerings until you get settled and into a location where you feel confident about the service that you are actually able to offer. 

This will also help you better come up with a sustainable growth plan that helps you overcome labor shortages, inflation, and excessive debt.  There is no reason why you should hold off being active in your business completely but make sure to be realistic about what level of service you can offer without the space you really need.

  One idea to think about when moving your home business to your first business premises is to…

i.)  Consider Renting

Although homeownership makes sense when your goal is to accumulate wealth, sometimes you need to hold onto the money you have so that you can put it into your business. Accumulating and earning are two different things, and you may need your financial capital to invest in equipment, marketing (more on that in a moment), or to float your family financially until your business picks up. 

If you do choose to rent, review your options carefully. You can look online at rental properties and then sort by price, amenities, and size.  Look for something that matches your needs at a time that doesn’t break the bank.  You can always upgrade to a bigger place when the time comes that this will work for your business.

ii.)  Target Your Local Audience

No two markets are the same, and you have to learn to appeal to the demographic that’s most likely going to buy from you. This is especially true when it comes to local marketing. Some areas simply have more money than others, and you must tailor your message to everything from the local income to age and other demographics. 

Basically, the main thing to consider after Moving Out From Your Home Business Space is that you will be becoming a bigger presence in your local area.  By doing so it’s realistic to assume that the Populus of your locale could be interested in what your business has to offer over other online solutions.  

This is definitely not the case for every business but you might be surprised by just what opportunities this brings to the table.

iii.)  Talk To Your Family About Your Plans

You may have grand plans, but your future endeavors will also affect the other people you have to go back home to. 

So make sure that you discuss your upcoming business and potential move with your family. 

As SmartHustle.com explains, life will change once you become an entrepreneur, and you may have less money than you did before for a while.  Give everyone an opportunity to get on board with the move. If you have a spouse or partner, you may need their approval.  Or if you are a single parent, you will need to make the decision on your own. 

It can be quite a difficult process but fortunately, there are many ways that you can alleviate stress for yourself and your children
during this process of making these changes to your business.

iv.)  Utilize Your Resources

You’re already going to utilize your home and probably your savings when starting your business. But, you should not overlook other important resources at your disposal. 

These should include everything from free social media accounts to communal spaces that have the tools you need to create prototypes or finished products. These maker spaces (along with co-working spaces) are especially useful when you are just starting out and in transition from one home to the next.

There will always be challenges associated with both starting a business and moving, especially when you have a family in tow. However, the tips above, from renting to having an open conversation with the members of your household, can help reduce some of these burdens so that you can enter into your new career ready to create the success you deserve and desire.  In fact,  by following these tips you are one step closer to getting the success you’ve always dreamed of…
