Avoid These 3 Mistakes When Moving a Commercial Business

1. Moving Things You No Longer Need

As you plan to pack up everything in your office, make sure that you're only moving the things that your business actually needs. Do you have a storage room full of outdated or unused equipment? Have you collected unnecessary items over the years? Consider selling or donating those items to give them to another company or organization that needs them, and free up time, space, and resources for your own relocation at the same time.

2. Not Packing Correctly

It's important to take care when packing all of your equipment and office supplies to make sure it's done properly and avoid preventable damage to your items. Remember to:

• Fill all the space in your moving boxes to avoid items shifting during the move, or boxes collapsing in on each other when stacked.
• Use packing materials in your boxes to cushion items and avoid damage.
• Avoid making any boxes too heavy to reduce the risk of injury to movers and to ensure the bottom of the box doesn't give out.
• Use a variety of box sizes when packing.
• Label your boxes clearly to make unpacking easier at your new location.

3. Not Hiring a Professional Moving Company

Professional movers can help streamline the process of relocating your business, helping you and your team avoid unnecessary stress and chaos during the move. In addition to the reduced stress, hiring a professional moving company can also:

• Help pack your office equipment and supplies
• Reduce the amount of time spent packing, loading, and unloading to take the burden off of your team and keep them productive
• Take special care with moving everything, especially expensive and fragile equipment
