Coordinating an office move can be a very stressful experience for business owners, but it's necessary when you need more room to grow. If you've already taken the time to view commercial space and placed a deposit down on a commercial lease, the next step is planning for moving day. One of the main reasons why many business owners choose to stay in the same space for extended periods of time is because they understand that moving can be challenging. If moving from one office to another is imperative for your business, here are some valuable tips to ensure that the move goes as easy as possible.

Planning Ahead and Keeping Employees Involved

You ultimately decide where your new office will be located, but make sure you keep your employees involved in the process. Planning at least 3 to 5 months ahead of time is essential for a smooth commercial move. If you plan everything from transferring your utilities, to setting up your IT network, you can have your new office up and running in a as little as a day.

 

It's in your best interest to hire a commercial mover with experience moving offices of any size. Be sure to reserve a reputable company, pick a date, and then do your best to make transporting all of your furnishings, equipment, and confidential files easier by getting organized early. If you want to de-clutter and organize in advance, having find a storage center located in Jackson, and make maneuvering around the office close to the move date much easier.

Organizing Items and Storing Them

One of the easiest ways to eliminate clutter while you're organizing an office move is to downsize as much as possible before moving day. Start by taking an inventory of all of your supplies, equipment, furniture and merchandise that will be taken to the new office. Anything that you don't need immediately can be placed in storage unit near your new office until you receive the keys to your office.

 

If you're trying to find the nearest locations, visit TheStorageCenter.com and enter your zip code. Before you store any business property make sure that it is labeled and protected. Also inform your movers that you will need items transported from your old office and a storage unit.

Confidential Paperwork

You should keep all confidential documents with you during the move. When a piece of paper is so important that losing it can be detrimental to your business, it is important that the paper is in a locked box in your possession. Paperwork that's outdated should be shredded and disposed of prior to moving day. This saves time and reduces your load.

 

Hiring professionals to help you move computer equipment safely and efficiently can make your move even easier. With the right movers and professionals by your side, you don't have to stress just because you're relocating. Plan ahead, declutter, and involve your employees to make for a smooth transition.
