Checklist for an Office Relocation

For many businesses, relocating an office without a checklist can leave them feeling incredibly stressed. 

Some businesses will choose to pack as they go along and when the time comes to unpack, they will find they have misplaced some items and others are missing.

Below, Greenings Removals have provided a checklist, this can be revised whenever needed:

Hire help

Relocating offices can be an exhausting process, especially when you are left alone to do it. Hiring a professional removals service is a great idea in the long run.

Buy supplies

You won’t want to leave it until the last minute to buy all of your moving boxes and labels, so it’s important to have everything ready before the arrival of moving day. Make sure you label all of your boxes once they are filled, this will make the unpacking process much simpler.

Contact utility companies 

The next step is to have your new location’s utilities paid and ready to be used upon arrival. Contact the water, phone, internet and other electric companies to set everything up. This is also a good opportunity to get your phone system set up before you arrive.

Update company information

After arriving at your new location, you will have a new address and possibly new phone numbers, this information you will want to provide to partnering companies and vendors. It is wise to have your business cards reprinted to display your new contact information before your move.

Updating your website

Similar to updating your contact information, you will want to make sure you update your website. Including the wrong information could risk your customers loyalty to you – it is best to update your details the day of the move, or prior.
