Help me move to new premises.

Old and new location: [addresses or areas]
Moving date: [date]
How I trade: [sole trader or limited company]
How customers find me: [Google, website, walk-ins, social]
Suppliers, utilities and services: [list]

First ask me up to 4 short questions. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A dated checklist from 8 weeks before to 4 weeks after.
2. Who to tell, with the GOV.UK pages for telling HMRC and, if I'm a company, Companies House.
3. Listings and signs to update.
4. Customer announcements: before, moving week, after.
5. Insurance, utilities and business rates notes.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or figures. UK English.

For GOV.UK pages on telling HMRC and Companies House about a change of address, use web search and name the page you used. If it doesn't search on its own, open View all tools and choose Search.
