There are a number of reasons why you would potentially need a larger basis for your eCommerce business, and therefore have to pick yourselves up and move to a new location. Three of the most significant of these have been detailed below, but once you've decided definitively that you need to move, how can you find a new office to suit your needs?

In the past this would have been a question that required a lengthy discussion with no wrong answers – today however, the internet has made it incredibly easy for business owners to simply look online, plug in their desired specifications, and have a list of offices available to them that fall under those specifications (and within a location of your choice) within a matter of seconds. Office space providers such as Easy Offices are great at this, as they truly work to make sure you find exactly what you're looking for, as at the end of the day, you're going to likely find yourself working from your new office for a long time to come, so you're going to want to make sure it's perfect first time around.

If you're still not sure if you need to move you and your eCommerce to a new location, below are the three most significant reasons why eCommerce companies such as yours move:

You're Hiring Like Nobody's Business

Often when an eCommerce business starts to grow, it really grows, and you struggle to hire staff fast enough. The problem here is, oftentimes the main thing stopping you from hiring more staff, even when you desperately need to, is the fact that you simply don't have the desk space for them to work from.

When looking at different office space providers desk space will be your core consideration – simply put, the more desks (and computers, workstations, etc) you can comfortably place in your new business location, the better.

You Need Somewhere to Store Excess Inventory

Now this is an interesting one. Though there's a very good chance that you already have a warehouse to store the majority of your inventory, sometimes you'll receive returns from customers of your eCommerce site to your office, and other times you'll simply have to keep some stock up at your office with you as your warehouse is full.

For this reason, though finding a larger office space just so you can store your excess inventory isn't a good enough reason in itself, if it's added alongside both the above and below reasons for needing a larger base for your eCommerce business, it helps to create a very compelling case.

You Need Extra Server Space

One of the perils of running a successful eCommerce business is the fact that you have to pay for more and more server space as you grow in popularity. Of course, these prices are significantly less than they were ten, even five years ago, and they're much cheaper than paying for rent in a number of shopping locations (as previously was your only option) but that doesn't mean this cost still doesn't sting.

If your only reason for needing a larger office base is for extra server space, you may wish to look into cloud server and storage solutions instead. Though as above, if this is combined with another reason (staff hires in particular) it helps to add to the weight of your argument.

In conclusion, there are a number of reasons why you would potentially need a larger basis for your eCommerce business, and therefore have to pick yourselves up and move to a new location, including the fact that you're hiring more and more staff every week, you need somewhere to store your excess inventory, and you need extra space to store your servers.
