Who Moved is For
Moved suits owner-managed South African businesses with under twenty people who are moving part or all of their operation, whether you’re shifting a Germiston bakery into a new shopfront off Rand Airport Road or moving a Musina tyre fitter closer to the N1. If you’re facing new lease agreements, need to update trading permits, or want to tell SARS where your VAT201 needs to point, this is for you. Teams on the road, owners who’ve outgrown home garages, or anyone relocating their supplier base: you’ll save hours on admin you don’t have to repeat.
It’s most useful for folks needing more than just a change of address letter. If you have permits, supplier contacts, bank FICA bundles, or municipal accounts in play, you'll deal with a lot of small but important documents. Been through a move before? You’ll know the admin load. If it’s your first, Moved spares you the late penalties and bounced cheques when something gets missed.
How Moved Works
We handle the essential bits of your move in a fixed sequence. You get the right kits, templates and reminders to keep your paperwork, suppliers and cashflow in line from day one. Here’s the order we use, whether you’re shifting your Germiston hair salon or Musina produce wholesaler:
- Confirm new address and trading hours (with basic lease audit)
- Pre-move check: permits, FICA, SARS, CIPC info up to date
- Supplier, utility and bank changeover (notifying and verifying)
- Cash and staff: payroll, UIF, EMP201 moved cleanly
- Local compliance: municipal licences, signage permissions, SADC or HS code updates
- Final handover: old site closeout, moving notes for staff and clients
Each stage comes with a ready-made kit, small task cards and links to relevant supplier hubs if you need on-the-ground help, like a courier across the Beitbridge border or a plumber for your new shop in Primrose.
Kits and Tools Included
Moved uses these BizMagic packs: Launch Deck, Invoice Charm, Supplier Radar, Ritual Pack and the Board Charm. You also get a month of weekly ops rituals, so nothing falls through the cracks. Need landlord proof for your new address to update CIPC? Sorted. We include supplier notification templates, checklists for municipal accounts, and shortlists of local suppliers if your regulars can’t travel. Every kit comes in plain English (or isiZulu if you prefer, just mention it on your mail).
All the tricky document bits, like landlord confirmations, council account switches, and staff UIF location changes, come with step-by-step notes. Your accountant or registered tax practitioner will need to handle CIPC and some SARS parts, which is normal.
A Move in Practice: Germiston to Musina
Let’s take Musa’s Panelbeaters, a six-person team moving from Germiston’s Simmerfield to Musina for family reasons. They start by mailing magic@bizmagic.co.za with the subject 'Moved: Musa’s Panelbeaters'. Right away, they get a custom Launch Deck and Supplier Radar, with a task list covering Germiston electricity meter closeout, Musina water deposit, and supplier switchover (including transporters who know the Beitbridge crossing rules). Their Invoice Charm pack flags the new VAT invoice address for all clients trading cross-border. Payroll gets sorted via the Ritual Pack and Board Charm, so UIF and EMP201 point to the Limpopo branch, not the old Gauteng one.
We picked up that Musa doubled up a proof of address on a FICA bundle (it happens to everyone), but the checklist caught it before the bank flagged a freeze. By week two, they’re fully operational in Musina, with only two days of downtime.
