Considerations When Doing A Commercial Move For A Coffee Shop Or Cafe In Vancouver
When you run a commercial retail food establishment, moving is not as simple as when you move house. And it’s also quite different than moving an office or other type of business. Before making the decision to move – if you have the choice – you’ll want to realize how many parts of your business can be affected. Your list of things to do will be vast – probably more work than when you set up your business to begin with. In this article, we’ll go into some considerations when doing a commercial move for a coffee shop or cafe in Vancouver. Licensing your coffee shop or cafe when you move to a new municipality If you move your coffee shop or cafe to a new city or municipality, your licensing fees and terms may change. Different cities in Metro Vancouver will have different rules for businesses. Be sure that you have the appropriate license to operate, before you open at your new location. Marketing material updates when you move a business As we discussed in our article on preserving SEO when you move a business, your address updates will be important. This is not something you want to leave on the back burner. You’ll want to change your address on all your marketing material, and all website mentions. In today’s age of Yelp searches for local eats, you can’t afford not to do this for a coffee shop or cafe business that is moving. To avoid confusion, also update your print material (such as business cards) or any paraphernalia. You may also...Two Illegal things you just can’t do with storage containers or storage facilities
2 Illegal things you can’t do with storage containers or storage facilities, even in Vancouver Recently the CBC reported a guy who was evicted for living in a storage unit in Vancouver. While he certainly showed how creative and clever one could make use of a tiny space for cheap rent, nothing he did was legal. So, as Vancouver storage providers (with secured facility container storage), it got us thinking. What else is illegal to do with storage units? I mean, we see good-guy-bad-guy TV shows using storage units in plot lines all the time. Does that happen in real life? Below are some illegal things you can’t do with storage containers or storage facilities – whether in Vancouver or not! Keep in mind, there is a difference between storage lockers and storage containers! That is explained in this article. You can’t live in a storage unit; not in Vancouver, not anywhere Above we mentioned the guy who lived in a storage unit in Vancouver for about two months. That was not ok. But he says he only broke the rule of sleeping there at night. Afterall, he wasn’t showering there. And he paid for the power he used via a long extension cord. But…he was posing other problems, as presented in this article. Apparently, people trying to live in storage units is not uncommon or new. But it’s illegal because: Storage facilities are not zoned for residential use. Cities have bylaws for housing, in case you haven’t noticed. It’s not ok to have people living without sewage or running water. Those medieval days are far behind us in the Western world. Storage facilities...Moving an office in the digital age
Moving High Tech Offices The digital age is changing the way we do a lot of things. For example, the music and publishing businesses have had to adjust the way they operate. People don’t seem to be inclined to go to a physical store and buy a CD or a book anymore. Instead, they download songs or e-books. The moving business is also rethinking the way it does business. Moving an office in the digital age is a totally different from moving in the 1990s and before. Nowadays, most offices are heavily reliant on computers and have much less paper. That translates into moving more delicate, expensive equipment and less heavy filing cabinets. We’ll talk about these differences in detail throughout this article. And it’s a good time to do so because many office spaces will probably be opening up soon in the Metro Vancouver area. Moving an office in the digital age requires movers to handle delicate electronics Back in the day — the 1990s! — moving an office often meant transporting many bulky filing cabinets and documents. Movers had to be trained to handle and store paper documents. For example, an obvious no-no that all movers would probably have drilled into their head is to avoid putting paper files in damp, wet places. Imagine the horror of discovering ink dripping right off all the documents after moving offices! Moving an office in the digital age requires us movers to adapt the way we move office equipment. Instead of filing cabinets, moving computers and other electronic equipment has become the new norm. That means movers have to become...When moving houses also mean moving a home-based Vancouver office
Moving houses with a home office in Vancouver In most cases, your home-based office is being relocated because you are also moving homes. If the home office office mover is organized and planned properly, there will be minimal disruptions to your work after the move has completed. In this article, we hope to provide some tips on home-office moving to help eliminate the stress it can bring. Is moving a home-based Vancouver office the same as any move into a new house? The answer to this question is, not exactly. You’re not just moving furniture here, so there are extra steps and things to consider. Firstly, all your client information is confidential and must stay confidential. There may be home addresses, contact information, and even credit card numbers in your hard-copy files. Properly locking up these files is important, especially if they are kept in paper format. Many file folder cabinets come with locks, which may be a wise investment, as opposed to using bins or cardboard boxes. Secondly, depending on what your business is, some documents may be irreplaceable. You may be able to get away with backing up the documents electronically or by keeping additional copies off-site in storage. However, with some institutions you deal with in business, only originals are deemed legitimate. In that case, it is extremely important these documents do not get misplaced. It would be wise to look into insurance if travelling long distance, or have them professionally shipped. Finally, you must take into account that you will most likely be working up until the day before your move. You may be able...Overnight Moving Services: Top 6 Questions Renters Need To Ask Moving Companies Before Moving
