I just finished one of the most significant moves of my life. I own a call center business and we just finished moving from Los Angeles to New York. Corporate relocation is no small feat when moving from one side of the continent to the other with over two hundred employees! One of my former partners, who owns a business that provides nationwide installation service, had relocated his headquarters from Southern California to New York. He invited me to visit him in New York to see his new location. He explained all of the benefits he received from undertaking corporate relocation to New York. He also took me around to the sights and a show on Broadway, which certainly did not hurt my impression of the city.

When I returned, I immediately began researching the possibility of moving from Los Angeles to New York. I was amazed by the potential benefits and incentives of corporate relocation to New York. The business opportunities provided by being so close to so many communications businesses and companies that outsource their phone support to call centers lead me to make a final decision. I sat down with important employees in my call center business to let them know that I wanted to move the company to New York. It was important to prepare my key employees for corporate relocation, but the work was not done yet.  

I made sure all of my key personnel had input into the cross-continental move. This was to make sure my most important employees were tuned into the process and to ensure that the move was done wisely. For example, the head of accounting crunched all of the numbers to make sure corporate relocation to New York was financially responsible. The operations director made sure the move stayed on budget and the human resources director made sure we would have sufficient staffing at our new location. I asked my former partner for a reputable real estate agent that would be skilled at handling corporate relocation. Using that lead, I found office space in Manhattan within our price range that was exactly what we needed, with enough room for moderate expansion. When we finally made the move, I hired a consulting company to handle the process of becoming a New York State corporation and selling our previous Los Angeles property.

My call center business has thrived since making the move from Los Angeles to New York. I have been able to make numerous new business connections, including gaining several new clients. There are plenty of qualified applicants to fill the jobs that I provide. I have also become fond of the New York corporate style and the East Coast lifestyle. I could not be happier that I made the move.
