Moving Office Checklist
If your planning on moving your business to a new office then congratulations, this must mean business is going well. I expect there will be excitement within the office but also worries about how the actual move will affect your business services. With a bit of planning and hiring the right moving company you should be able to move offices with the minimum of disruption. Here at Pickdropgo Van and Man we are fully aware of the differences between moving domestic household goods compared to moving office equipment.
Early Planning
To ensure the move goes as swiftly as possible it will be worth drafting a moving plan. The more planning you do early on will make the move go a lot more efficiently. Have a think about which staff member is best for each job. For instance if you have an IT expert within your office, he or she should be in charge of packing and moving the computer equipment. It would help if there was someone in charge of coordinating the move on the actual day of moving.
Things to Remember
Address change: Think about how the actual address change will affect your business. Have the changes of letter headed paper and other stationary sorted out before you move. Box it up and label the box so when you unpack at the new office you can find all the new stationary quickly and efficiently.
Update the address on the company website. One thing that is often overlooked is arranging to have the address of your company changed on other websites. If you’re listed in local business directories you will need to contact these websites and ask for the address to be changed.
Don’t forget to tell the appropriate companies of your address change. Local governments, insurance companies, cleaners, gardeners and suppliers are just some of the people who will need to be informed.
And don’t forget to tell all your clients.
Arrange Disconnection/Reconnection
Remember to arrange the disconnection and then re-connections of things such as electricity, telephone, mail services, mobile phones, pagers and fax machines.
