Here are the best moving tips for your business relocation to ensure you and your employees have an easy moving process.

Start early

If you want to avoid headaches on moving day, it's a good idea to start planning your business relocation several months before the actual move. Book your movers a few months in advance and arrange for storage space if you need it. During this period, it's also wise to set a budget for how much money you'll need to spend on the move so you can get an overview of your expenses.

The things you and your workplace don't use on a daily basis, you might as well start packing well in advance so you have more time during the move itself.

Invest in high-quality packaging and equipment

If you want to reduce the risk of your inventory breaking during the move, make sure you invest in quality packing and equipment. Moving boxes. Sack trucks. Transport trolleys. Lifting bars. Bubble wrap. Newsprint - the list is long. But to get your office belongings through in one piece, it's good to have your equipment in order. Get commercial moving help from a professional moving company moving companythey will most likely have the necessary moving materials and accessories.

Sell and donate

When the workplace moves office, there are bound to be items that are no longer needed. Instead of just throwing things out, they can either be sold or donated for others to enjoy. Facebook Marketplace, DBA and GulogGratis are all sites where you can get rid of company belongings quickly and easily.

Find a moving company with insurance

One of the most important moving tips is to choose a moving company with insurance - whether you're private move or a commercial move. It can be tempting to just go for the cheapest option when it comes to movers. But it's important that your belongings are insured in the unlikely event that something breaks during the move.

If you choose an insured moving company, the movers are responsible for your belongings when they have them. If they damage anything, it will be covered by the moving company's insurance. If the moving company is not insured, it will be difficult for you to get compensation, and since commercial moves often involve expensive belongings, it is a clear advantage to have moving insurance.

Sort office belongings with colored labels

Colored labels are a great way to keep track of your office belongings. You can use these labels to show the movers where different boxes go in the new office. For example, yellow labels for your office, pink for the accountant's office, green for archives, etc. 

Pack electronics the right way

Computers and other electronics should be packed so that they are simple and easy to set up in the new office. Use the original packaging if you still have it, and if you have fairly sophisticated connections, take pictures before packing to make it easier to reassemble after the move. Pack monitors well to minimize the chance of them getting damaged and pack cables and other accessories that belong to electronic devices with the ones they belong to.

Separate office furniture

Office furniture is a bit of a hassle to pack up when moving offices as it takes up a lot of space. To make it easier, you can disassemble the furniture to make it easier to easier to transport. It's also a good idea to tape drawers and cabinet doors so they don't open up during the move.
