A Positively Moving Experience
Business Relocation – Preparing Your Company Beforehand
One of the most common nightmares that people have is finding themselves back in school and about to take a test, and suddenly realizing that they haven’t prepared for it. No matter what the task, preparation can be the difference between success and failure. In business, it can also be the difference between financial gains and lost revenues. When you’re getting ready to move to a new office space, preparing your business for the relocation beforehand can save you a significant amount of time and money.
Business relocation can be complicated, and so before you begin the process you should write out a checklist of everything that will need to be done before moving day. Leave nothing out. The more details you include, the better. The list should include crucial steps such as having your IT personnel back up your computers before movers arrive to unplug your computers and other electronics. You do not want to risk losing vital information during the business relocation process.
Before your business is ready for relocation, you should also get rid of all unwanted furniture and other items. Moving day is not the time to take care of this task, since this can take up extra time that movers should be spending on items that you do want to take along. Unwanted items can also cause extra clutter, or can wind up being accidentally transported to your new location. Another way to prepare your business for the move is to ensure that all drawers and cabinets are empty. Unless you have arranged for movers to do the packing for you, make sure that files and all other items are safely packed away in boxes. Then on moving day, make sure that movers already have clear passages through which to carry furniture. Boxes should be stacked out of the way, and to ensure the safety of all people involved in the business relocation process, nothing should be left in the middle of passageways that can cause anyone injury.
