Office moves can feel even more stressful than residential moving. Fortunately, with careful planning, you can avoid some of the common pitfalls of relocating and enjoy a smooth transition into your new office. Here’s how to ensure a successful commercial moving experience.

Your Guide to a Smooth Office Move

1. Pack & Organize Ahead of Time

Start packing your office up several weeks in advance of your move to reduce your stress later one. Wait to pack the everyday necessities, such as computers, desks, and telephones, but box up your file archives, office supplies, and other non-essentials. Make separate piles for items you wish to discard, sell, or donate to charity. 

2. Place Orders for Upgrades

Commercial moving presents an excellent opportunity to invest in upgrades for your office. Place orders for items such as new furniture, decorations, lighting, and telecommunication systems well before your move, so they’ll be ready as soon as you settle into your new office. For convenience, have the upgrades delivered to the new office. 

3. Update Your Address & Contact Information

Update your address on your website, social media accounts, business cards, letterheads, business listings, and local directories. Send out an email to your clients, suppliers, janitorial service, and other important parties to notify them of your new location. Don’t forget to submit a change of address form, too. 

4. Hire Professional Movers

Hire a professional commercial moving company to help you finish your packing, move heavy items, and transport your office items to your new place of business. These services will save you time and reduce the likelihood of property damages and personal injuries.
