What to do before you make the move
Understand the local market
Every region in Tasmania is unique.

Useful questions to ask yourself.
- What services or products are needed?
- Who are your customers?
- Are there similar businesses already operating in the area you are looking to move to?
Local councils, Business Tasmania, and chambers of commerce can provide you with information to assist your decision-making. You can also get in touch with an industry association to ask questions or make connections with others in your industry.
