Ok, so you’ve decided to up route and move location for your business. Many businesses do this whether it’s to expand the work place for growing businesses or it could be to downsize the area or space you rent for work in order to cut costs.Whatever the situation, no doubt about it you are finding this time to be rather worrying! When is the best time to move?For an up and running company the main aim is to move with fewer disruptions! Depending on what the actual business is, you could either move over the weekend or during the evening perhaps? If you are generally busy at the weekend then it is probably best to move during the evening instead, although it may be very tiring to do this, after a long day at work, it may be your only option unless you are prepared to close the business for a couple days, but not every company can afford to do this. When it comes to hiring removal services it may be more costly to hire at those times but as a business you need to establish whether or not the cost outweighs the cost of closure and decide from there what the best option is.Hire a company that specialises in business removals. By opting for companies that specialise in business and office removals you are guaranteed to be getting a better service for your requirements. They are experts and fully trained in how to handle, pack and load the van with expensive equipment and you are less likely to have any accidental damages occur which generally happens due to lack of knowledge.Remember that if any damages or breakages did happen it could be costly to a business, especially if it’s an important piece of equipment, used daily. Waiting for a replacement could set you back! Carefully pack and organise!You cannot rush the job of packing up a business to move, things need to be protected properly and packaged to ensure they are safe. Also remember those important documents, you certainly do not want things left lying around which could end up in the wrong hands so make sure documents and bank details are not visibly on show to everyone.Organise the office and decide which things need to be dealt with by only you and then think about using a packing service to come in and do the rest. Packing services are very good at packing efficiently and are experts in knowing how to pack things safe and secure. For a running business this could also save you heaps of time to be doing other things on removal day. Never try to cut costs on tired worn out boxes as they will not hold the weight of heavy equipment and paperwork and you could end up with burst boxes causing you even more stress. Double layered boxes are the strongest and just as important are the wraps and shredding that is used to fill boxes in order to distribute even weight. Failure to do this could lead to burst boxes or even worse, squashed boxes during transit resulting in damage. A packing service provides only the best materials for the job which is why we would always recommend using them! Settling In!Once you arrive at the new destination try to sort out the boxes ASAP, you need to ensure that everything is safe and sound and that nothing has been left behind. If an insurance claim is needed, it’s best done sooner rather than later! Try not to stress too much about having to sort through everything, concentrate on the important things first and you can always sort through things properly when you have more time to do a thorough job of it.
