How to Make the Move to a Larger Office Space

Maximize productivity & minimize disruptions

Moving your business to a larger office space is a sign of success. It means you’re thinking about what you need to build a bigger, better business for your customers and employees.

It also entails a significant amount of work on its own. Here’s how to make the most of your move.

How to make a smooth (office) move

Once you’ve finalized all the arrangements for your new office, take a moment to breathe. Then, follow these handy tips to make the most of all that new space for your business.

Outfit your new office

An office move is the ideal time to overhaul your setup. Measure each room to determine the type of office furniture that will fit: how many workspaces will fit side-by-side, how large your conference room tables should be and so on.

Before you plug everything in, this is also a great time to make any overdue updates or future-proof revisions to your office technology setup.

Keep employees on task

Whether for hauling boxes or assembling office chairs, it may seem appropriate to enlist your employees in the moving effort. But entrusting the setup process to experts will let your employees do more of what they’re experts at—creating value for your business.

Walmart Business members get access to a wide range of expert assembly and installation services through Pros powered by Angi. Just shop for what you need, set up your pro services and get back to work.

Empower your team

It’s easy enough to centralize your decisions when you’re working in a small office with a small team. As you grow, it’s important to spread more of the duties and decision-making to trusted employees.

The processes and flexibility you build now could help you be more sustainable and resilient through many more rounds of growth. Walmart Business supports multi-user accounts with shared payment options and tools for budget management, allowing you to entrust employees with purchase decisions while retaining a single source of accountability.

Keep supplies seamless

No matter where you do business, you need the right office supplies to keep work flowing smoothly. Moving from one space to another is an opportunity to reassess what supplies you need and how you get them.

Sign up for a free Walmart Business account to access a massive selection of the goods you need to run an effective workplace. You could buy in bulk to fill those new supply closets and cabinets while locking in great prices. Or you could subscribe to products you buy frequently,¹ so you keep a fresh supply flowing in without the administrative headache.

Start your cleaning routine

It’s easy for clutter to build up in a workplace. That’s just as true for physical clutter, like stacks of documents, as it is for digital clutter: unnecessary downloads clogging up storage drives, passwords that need changing and so on.

Take this inflection point in your business’s growth to clean up and simplify across the board, then make a plan for how you’ll keep it that way. Check out our Routine Cleaning Business Guide for more tips to keep your business clean, including a handy checklist.

You have a solid plan for the move into your larger office space. But if you’ve moved before, you know something unexpected is always bound to come up. For that—and for many other daily business needs—a free Walmart Business account will help.

You’ll unlock access to low prices and bulk buys across a wide array of workplace must-haves. Your free account also gives you a wide assortment of features to help your business succeed, including our Small Business New Year Reset guide.
