Home Vendor News 6 Tips To Help A Business When Moving Offices

When you are moving your business to a new location, the process can seem daunting. There are so many things to think about – from packing up all of your office supplies and furniture to ensuring that your internet and phone lines are set up in the new space. Luckily, there are a few tips that can help make the process smoother for both you and your employees. In this blog post, we will discuss six of the most important tips to keep in mind when moving your business!

1. Plan Ahead

One of the most important things you can do when moving offices is to plan ahead. This means having a timeline of what needs to be done and when, as well as making sure you have enough time to properly pack up your old office and get settled into your new one.
Moving offices can be a big undertaking, but if you take the time to plan ahead, it can go smoothly.

2. Label Everything

When you’re packing up all of your office equipment and furniture, be sure to label everything. This will make it much easier for the movers to know where everything goes, and it will also help you keep track of everything as well.
Labeling everything may seem like a lot of work, but it’s worth it in the end.

3. Pack Strategically

Of course, you want to pack up all your things before you move. But, you don’t want to just throw everything into boxes haphazardly. You need to take a step back and think about what you use on a daily basis and what can be packed away until you’re settled into your new place. 
For example, if you have a printer that you use daily, you’re going to want to keep that out and easily accessible. But, if you have boxes of old files that you never look at, those can be packed away until later. Packing strategically will make the unpacking process much easier for you and your employees.
When it comes time to move, you should know that you don’t have to move all of the things at once. You can use something like business storage at U CAN Store, or a storage pod, to keep some of your things until you’re settled into your new place. This can free up some space in your office and make the move a lot less stressful for everyone involved.
Some businesses choose to hire professional packers and movers to handle their office relocation. If you have the budget for it, this can be a great option. Just be sure to do your research and hire a reputable company.

4. Keep Important Files and Documents Handy

This is the time to get rid of all those old files and documents you’ve been meaning to shred. But, before you do that, make sure to scan and save digital copies of any important papers. This includes leases, contracts, client lists, employee records, and anything else that is essential to your business. Keep these files in a safe place, like a cloud-based storage system, so you can access them easily during the move and after.
For anything else, create a packing list of what needs to be moved and where it’s going. This will come in handy on moving day and help ensure nothing gets lost in the shuffle.

5. Transport Sensitive Equipment Safely

As well as your furniture, you will also need to move any sensitive equipment. This includes computers, printers, and scanners. You will need to transport this equipment carefully to avoid any damage.
You should: 
– Unplug all of the equipment from the sockets. 
– Pack them up in their original packaging if possible. 
– If you don’t have the original packaging, use bubble wrap to protect them.
Make sure that you label each box so that you know which pieces of equipment are in which box. This will make it easier to set up your office once you arrive at your new premises.

6. Unpack Quickly and Efficiently

Last but not least, once you’re in your new office space, it’s time to unpack and get everything set up as quickly and efficiently as possible. This may mean enlisting the help of some friends or family members to get things done more quickly. But once everything is unpacked and set up, you can finally start enjoying your new office space and getting back to business as usual.

Moving offices can be a big undertaking, but if you follow these tips, it can be a smooth and successful process. Do your research, plan ahead, and make sure to stay organized throughout the entire process. And before you know it, you’ll be settled into your new office space and ready to take on whatever comes your way.
