Checklist when you move into a coworking space

The first step is to find the right coworking space. Search for coworking spaces that match your needs and values. Consider factors like location, facilities, and the culture of the coworking space. This choice will have a significant impact on your daily business operations.

It is important to notify everyone - employees, customers, suppliers, and partners - about this change. Tell them about parking options and transportation possibilities. Update your address on all platforms.

Start your planning early. Develop a detailed schedule that covers all aspects of the move, including especially the transportation of equipment, but also your introduction to the other residents of the coworking space.

Even if you may not be moving an entire office, it can still be helpful to have a professional team to assist with the logistics, especially if there is heavy equipment involved.

Involve the IT person responsible in the coworking space to ensure that all technical elements are in place. Do you need a special code for the network? Do you have access to server space and network printers? Does the coworking space have security requirements for your IT setup? Etc.

Even in a shared environment, it is important to personalize your space. Plan the placement of your equipment and any personal items so that they fit well into the new environment. This applies whether you are renting an open office space or a closed office.

Find out what facilities are available and coordinate with the community management regarding any specific needs you might have.

If you have employees, make sure that everyone knows what is going to happen. This includes everything from logistics on the actual moving day to expectations for behavior in the new community.

Take responsibility on the moving day, and ensure that all tasks are carried out efficiently. Allocate time for the move and be prepared to tackle all unforeseen challenges.

When you arrive, focus on the most important areas like your workstation. This ensures that you can get up and running quickly again. But also take time to introduce yourself to your future coworkers in the coworking space.

Once you become a part of the community, actively engage in it. Participate in events, network with other members, and share your positive experience with your network.
