Is an office move right for my business?
If you’re considering whether an office move is right for your company, it’s likely that your office space is lacking in some way… Too small? Dated? Uninspiring?
You’re definitely right in thinking that something needs to change if the environment is no longer working for your business. A functional and inspirational work environment is extremely important to the happiness of your team and success of your company, but an office relocation isn’t the only option available to you.
Many issues regarding a workspace come down to the utilisation of the space. There are many circumstances in which businesses aren’t using their space to its full potential, but a workplace analysis can recognise the solutions that need to be put in place in order to optimise your space. Followed by a bespoke office refurbishment, informed by the results of the analysis, it might mean that you can completely avoid the need for an office relocation.
The best solution for you and your team, however, depends on the struggles your business currently faces. To determine this, let’s think about the features you need from your office…
More space?
Is your business thriving and has it subsequently outgrown your current office space? We know the score – we’ve experienced it ourselves! It’s worth consulting a workplace specialist (like us!), however, to assess the space and see what can be done to make it work better for you and your team.
A workplace consultant will spend a few days analysing your business and the way it functions within the your existing space. This helps to recognise the potential of your current space and would also aid your interior designers in creating an interior perfectly suited to your business.

Nicer environment?
Inspirational and motivational office design are hugely influential factors on the productivity and wellbeing of your employees while they’re at work.
An office space possessing the right square footage and location required, but lacking in design and functionality, can easily be refurbished to create a more inviting environment that encourages your team to produce their best work. A bespoke refurbishment tailored to your current office struggles can offer dramatic improvements to your space.
Better location?
Location is one issue that a refurbishment cannot fix! If you want to position your office in an area better suited to your company and clients, then an office move is a viable solution. Make sure to do some research on the best area to move to in terms of transportation links and rental prices to make sure you make the right decision for your business.
What do you need to do next?
With an office relocation being such a big process for any company, we recommend consulting a workspace specialist to confirm that your requirements can’t be met with your current workspace. We offer a FREE Workspace Healthcheck service where we will come into your assess how your space currently functions, and recognise any improvements that could be made to improve its utilisation and the effects that it has on your team.
