How to Budget Your Office Move
When budgeting for your office move, you’ll need to consider more than just the cost of hiring a moving company. The best way to create a budget is make a spreadsheet or use a template where you can write down all the moving costs. Creating categories for the expenses will also make planning and organizing your move easier. A simple example would be dividing the expenses for before, during, and after the move.
To budget for the moving company, get quotes from the companies you’re considering and input the highest one in the budget, just to be conservative. The other moving expenses that you may need to budget for include the costs of:
- Rent for the new office space, as well as the security deposit and building insurance
- Any new furniture or IT infrastructure you’ll need to purchase for your office
- Technical services for installing all of your equipment and electronics when you’re items arrive at your new office
- Having existing office repairs completed if required by your landlord before moving
- Paying your employees for any extra help they will provide for the move
- Advising fees for any professional help from lawyers, brokers, IT consultants, office designers, general contractors
- Terminating your lease early, if applicable
- Any additional taxes that must be paid that aren’t already included in your rent
