How to Prepare Your Office for a Moving Company

When it comes to moving your business, the most important thing is to stay organized. It’s also helpful to delegate certain moving tasks to your employees, to ensure that everything goes according to plan. However, the very first step is of course to notify everyone about the move. Be sure to give them ample time, ideally at least three months, so that they can make preparations for the potential change in their commute.

The next step is to create a budget for your move. The easiest way to do this is get quotes from a variety of companies. However, you should be wary during this process, as many companies advertise low prices, only to hike them up with hidden fees later. Also, be sure that any estimate is performed onsite at your current location to ensure accuracy. It is nearly impossible to provide an accurate moving quote based on information gathered over the phone.

Once you have decided on a moving company, the next step is to have your employees begin packing up their desks. Making each employee responsible for packing his or her own workspace helps to ensure that all their items will be accounted for. Then you will want to pack any other loose items and ensure that the boxes they are in are properly labeled.

On the day of the move, assuming all loose items are packed, you will generally want to let the moving professionals do what they do best. It’s good to be available to answer questions but you will want to try to stay out of their way as much as possible.
