Question 1

Who do I need to notify when moving office?

Accepted Answer

Clients, suppliers, HMRC, Companies House if you are a limited company, your bank, insurers, utilities, telecoms, your landlord, staff, and any directories or listings such as your Google Business Profile.

Question 2

How far in advance should I tell people?

Accepted Answer

Start with clients and suppliers 4 to 6 weeks out. Sort telecoms and broadband earlier because of lead times, and update official records around the move date.

Question 3

Do I need to tell HMRC and Companies House?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tell HMRC your new business address, and if you are a limited company, update your registered office address with Companies House.

Question 4

Should I set up a Royal Mail redirect?

Accepted Answer

It is a sensible safety net so anything you forget still reaches you. Set it up a week or two before the move.

Question 5

How do I tell clients without worrying them?

Accepted Answer

Keep it short and reassuring: new address, same team, same contact details, business as usual. The client wording above does exactly that.
