It goes without saying that when you are moving office there is going to be a lot to arrange. Maybe, if you are a one-person company, then the prices of organizing it may be something you are able to accommodate within your usual daily business routine.

So, right at the beginning, think critically about whether you can possibly undertake this yourself.

To help you achieve that, select someone in your business who is responsible and that has some amount of preparation and supervisory or management experience. Give them the outline parameters of what needs to be done and then let them take it to finish including all communications and planning
