Moving a business is not the same as driving a household.
Between the types of items being moved and the sheer size of the move itself, even moving a small business requires the experience of commercial moving companies for the best outcome.
Commercial movers play an important role in getting a business packed and moved as quickly and efficiently as possible so that a business can resume working in the new location.
Most importantly, when using a commercial moving company for a corporate move, a company only needs to worry about preparing for an efficient move and their ability to get back to normal business, while the commercial movers prepare the company for the move itself.
Schedule and Plan Early
To reduce the chance of problems and prevent any extended business disruption, a company must select their commercial moving company a few months before the move itself to get the date reserved and go over the moving plan in detail.
Commercial movers are experienced in helping a company prepare for a move, then get unpacked and functioning again quickly - so ask for advice.
Make a schedule with the commercial movers that details getting the office packed up and the ability to handle things such as electronic equipment and essential computer hardware.
IT personnel should also be involved in this part of the planning since their help will be required to tear down and set up networks again with the least disruption.
With a detailed plan of what and when a business can be ready for commercial moving when moving day arrives.
Change All Contact Information
Today, moving involves much more than just filing a change of mailing address.
Companies must file address changes with the postal service and any delivery services and then deal with their online presence.
Changes should be made to the company website and anywhere online that contact information is listed.
Letterhead and promotional material must be changed, social and online business profiles adjusted, and clients and customers informed about the upcoming move.
Banking and merchant card information must also be updated to prevent interruptions in services or automatic payments because if addresses don’t match, payments could be missed.
Utilities and internet service should be turned on at the new location and tested to ensure everything is working properly once moving day arrives.
Make A Floor Plan and Inventory List
Successful commercial moving requires a lot of forethought.
By hiring an experienced commercial moving company, a business can confidently know that their commercial mover has done this many times and will help them construct the best relocation plan.
Experienced commercial moving companies can help a business estimate the amount of time their move will take and provide important advice on efficiently packing and preparing for moving day.
