Whether your lease is up or you’ve outgrown the space, most businesses tend to relocate at least once. Even if it’s for the best, commercial moving can be complicated. However, hiring the right moving company and avoiding some common mistakes can ease the transition. Below are some of the most important do’s and don’ts of moving your business to a new location.

Do:

Prepare in advance.

Tight schedules and frantic, last-minute packing can make a stressful situation worse and increase the chances of mistakes, like misplacing an important document. As soon as you have a moving date, make a schedule and stick to it. Even months in advance, you can start prepping and packing off-season inventory, storage rooms, and other materials that you won’t need before the move.

With all the preparation and the pressure of commercial moving, your employees may start to see it as a series of chores or an inconvenience. Throwing an office party includes everyone and creates a sense that your move is something to celebrate.

Don’t

Set a negative tone.

No matter how stressed you might be, stay upbeat and positive in front of your staff. After all, your employees will take their cues from you, and will likely start treating the move as an imposition if you openly complain about the process.

Leave it all to your employees.

Your employees aren’t professional movers, so they might be justifiably irritated if you have them spend weeks packing file rooms and products. Hiring a commercial moving company will take the pressure off your staff and allow them to concentrate on their assigned tasks.
