Relocation
Relocating a business is a major decision in the life of a company. Shifting from familiar surroundings with established networks to a new location can be daunting for staff and management, but the benefits can be exceptional.
In many instances relocation has even underpinned the prosperity and future of a company.
Relocating a business to regional NSW makes good economic sense; land costs are cheaper, transport can be more efficient and labour is plentiful.
The degree of success achieved by a relocated business is directly related to the quality and extent of the prior groundwork which is committed to the process of site selection.
Those thinking of relocating a business can learn from others. NSW Trade & Investment has developed this checklist on the SmallBiz website based upon years of practical assistance to big and small companies. The checklist covers site selection and the physical relocation itself.
Regional Relocation Grant
The Regional Relocation Grant scheme provides eligible families with a one-off payment of $7,000 to assist with the cost of relocating from a metropolitan home to a home in regional NSW. See Office of State Revenue for more information.
