When your business outgrows its current space, relocating or expanding becomes necessary. However, moving a currently open business can be a complicated task. Fortunately, Becker Movers, a residential and commercial moving company, understands that downtime is not an option. They work with clients in Rochester, NY, to develop a customized plan that will keep you up and running throughout the entire move, saving you time and money in the process.

Here are a few tips from the moving company to help make moving your business as seamless and efficient as possible:

• Create A Timeline: To properly coordinate your business relocation, you will need to create a timeline. This should start anywhere from four to six months before the move and include when to hire movers, when to tell employees, when packing should begin, which items should go first, and when to have internet and phone services turned on at the new location. Becker Movers' commercial moving services include helping clients set up pre-move planning sheets to keep everything organized so the business is not affected during the move.
• Allocate Resources For Moving: Budgeting for a business relocation or expansion is incredibly important. You want to ensure that enough resources have been allotted to cover all upcoming moving expenses.
• Downsize Before Moving: The less you have to move, the less it will cost you. If your current office location is filled with furniture and old pieces of technology that no one uses, there is no point hauling them to your new location. Your best options are to donate them for a tax write-off, drop them off at a recycling center, or sell them to a used furniture store.
• Update Vendors & Clients: The last thing you want is for your business resources to go to the wrong location. One to three months before the move is final, you need to reach out to all vendors and make sure they have your new address and contact information. Around one to two weeks before the move is complete, you should also update your post office and all areas where your contact information is listed, including your website, letterhead, and business cards to keep your clients up to date.

Relocating a business can seem like a headache, but with the right amount of planning, it can be a breeze. Call Becker Movers today at (585) 458-5480, and learn more about this Rochester moving company by visiting them online.
