Can you relocate a business from one building to another?

[Jor1994]

I'm still using the small office i rented at the start of the game for my headquarters and with all the staff and their needs, it's getting quite cramped. I'm also now looking to get more HR managers and the final purchase officer so will definitely need more space.

My concern is that i don't want to mess up the entire structure of the business, having to get the import contracts, sort out warehouse and deliveries again etc.

Is there a good way to expand in this way without breaking anything?

You can't relocate it without breaking stuff, but you can just open a second headquater for the new employes

At least at this time, no building of any use can be relocated.
If you want to avoid redoing Headquarter's existing setup, it is simplest to rent another building and simply add a new manager there.

- BE AWARE -
if u take out the staff from your small headquarter and put it in the new one you'll loose every freakin contract and its settings AND you will have to set up the routes from the WHs to your shops once more from scratch and fill in every amount of product again.

it doesnt affect the HR managers that much coz you can fill their list of employees automaticly

just leave it like it is and open a new office with new employees.
u can also write those numbers down if you really wanna close that old one

Yeah, open the new business/HQ. Then start moving furniture. I'd recommend setting up a few computer stations before you start moving, I moved my HQ from Garment District to MidTown yesterday and it messed up all my logistics and purchase orders.

I personally like it. This is how I get around not being able to open more than one business before the class, and am able to move to areas with better traffic indexes when I save up.

Wait, you have a HQ but only one business?

If you really want to keep it all in one place and move it, you'll save yourself alot of effot by renting a new space and just buying all new stuff. Then you can move people one at a time and capture the settings for purchasing etc easier. When you're done just terminate the lease and it will automatically sell everything in the building.

It costs more to it this way, but it doesn't take long in the game until the costs for items becomes trivial and this will save you a ton of work packing everything up, moving it and unpacking it. Totally worth it.

Same happened when I just reseated people in my HR building from big desks to smaller ones (the ones that didn't need executive), everyone lost all contracts&settings.
