How to Change a Company Address

Moving your company can be a major undertaking. Besides the physical and logistical aspects of the move, you need to make sure that you cover all your bases and notify all the parties that will be affected. A simple and logical process to accomplish all these notifications can make a stressful time a little bit easier.

Instructions

1. Get the word of your new address out at the speed of light and with just a few clicks of your mouse. Create an email message with the notification and all your new contact info. Go through your email contact list, click to choose all the appropriate recipients, and then simply hit "Send."

2. Create a one-page fax with your address change notification and details, and send it to everyone on your fax machine's speed dial list. You can also use this method for those companies that require more than an email and ask you to fax over any changes.

3. Send out the address change notice with all your monthly statements and invoices. This is often easily accomplished by adding a note in your accounting software. You definitely want those that owe you money to know where to send it. While you are focused on money-related contacts, don't forget your bank and credit cards!

4. Create a list of important local, state, and federal agencies that need to know your new address. Tax agencies, business license departments, and business associations are examples of those you should contact.

5. Announce the address change on your company website and make sure that you have made changes to all your company documents like letterhead, envelopes, business cards, and computer files.

Tips & Warnings

• Make a set of inexpensive business cards with your address change announcement and details and hand them out to other business people you see as you go about your work day.
