However, you may need a little help to ensure you don’t miss anything. That’s why we’re sharing these tips with you to help you relocate your business. Spring is the perfect time to move a business. The weather is nice, and spring is a natural time in the year to make a transition. However, if you've never moved a business before, you may have some questions. Here are 9 tips to help you with your transition:

1. Change your address - Be sure to update your address online at places like Yelp, Google Places, and Bing Places.
2. Keep Your Phone Number - If you can't, keep your old number and set it up to forward calls to your new number.
3. Inform the Government – Be sure to let all licensing and tax agencies know of your new address.
4. Marketing Materials – Update your address on every piece of marketing you have. While you’re at it, maybe now is a great time for a fresh new look!
5. Change Paid Searches – If you advertise with paid campaigns, you’ll want to change the market you focus on to the new location you’ll be at.
6. Update Citations – Search your address and change it online wherever possible and necessary.
7. Notify Community Partners and Friends - Make sure your referral partners know where to send their referrals!
8. Social Media - Be sure to update your address on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
9. Automatic Payments - Be sure to keep your services rolling by updating your credit card with your new address.
