Moving office can be a big task for even the smallest businesses. With so much to get\u00a0done, it can be tough – booking a removals company, packing up all of your stuff, sorting\u00a0utilities, all whilst trying to keep the business running as usual.<\/p>\n

Follow these 3 simple\u00a0steps for a smooth and stress-free office move, to make sure you move with as little\u00a0hassle as possible.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Planning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You need to plan in order to have a stress-free move. Firstly, organise your team and\u00a0plan a date to relocate. Be sure to inform all of your staff, clients, customers, and\u00a0everyone involved in the move of your relocation plans. You can design a timetable to\u00a0ensure your move runs as planned and you know exactly what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

    You also need to book an office removals company that you can trust to carry out the\u00a0job. Find a company with positive reviews and experience that will help your move go\u00a0smoothly. Once you choose a company, an estimator will visit your office to assess\u00a0what needs to be done, what packing materials will be required, and then a quote will be\u00a0given.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Preparing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Prepare what you will need to move to your new office. Sort which items to take and\u00a0which to leave behind. Think about what you will need and what will best work within\u00a0your new space. You can order any new furniture or equipment you may need, and\u00a0think about refreshing your company\u2019s look and office branding.<\/p>\n

      Measure your new office to make sure your existing and new furniture fits into the\u00a0space. Start to imagine how your new furniture will look in the room, and which pieces\u00a0of furniture will work best where. For example, desks and computers will need to sit\u00a0near electrical outlets, as will appliances if you have a kitchen area. Share these plans\u00a0with your removals company so they know where everything will go in your new office.<\/p>\n

      You will need to think about your existing utilities and how you will transfer them to your\u00a0new office or shut them down to get new ones. Review your gas, water, and electricity\u00a0in both offices and shut down accounts or set new ones up. You will also need to renew\u00a0insurance and licenses. Transfer your telephone numbers and redirect your mail across\u00a0to your new office, and alert clients of your new address.<\/p>\n

      Make an inventory of what you will keep so that you are well planned for moving day.\u00a0You will need to order boxes, crates, labels and other packaging materials<\/a> so that you\u00a0are prepared for the big day and can start packing beforehand. Use coloured labels to\u00a0indicate what will be moved to your new office, and where it will go.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Moving<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        On moving day, make sure everyone understands your relocation plans. Everything\u00a0should be packed away and ready to go, so make sure everything is cleared and the\u00a0office is completely empty, including desks, drawers, walls, shelves, stationary,\u00a0furniture, and kitchen utensils. Ensure clear access into your office for the removals\u00a0company so that they can do their job as quickly and easily as possible.<\/p>\n

        Once you are moved into your new office, check its condition, including floors, walls,\u00a0and light fittings. Check that all appliances, plug sockets, wifi, water, and phones are\u00a0working correctly. Make sure everyone knows that you\u2019ve moved, and throw an\u00a0office-warming party to settle in and celebrate.<\/p>\n
