1. Plan For Your Move

The stress of an office move can force you to avoid thinking about it. Even though an office move may be pending, the desire to avoid even thinking about the move might result in you delaying or refusing to make plans. The result is even greater stress when the relocation ultimately occurs.
What you should do is make a plan for your office move as soon as possible. Considering your office move as a project and planning every detail will ensure a slicker and less stressful move. In many cases, this planning phase is skipped and demands involvement of expert Removal professionals. The Whole Move Company can help you prepare a perfect plan for a smooth office relocation.

2. Keep Your Employees Informed

Ensure you involve your staff in the move as much as possible. Get each employee to pack their own personal stuff and consider giving them some time off from their routine tasks to complete their preparations. Getting the staff involved may reduce some of your expenses of hiring a professional packing service. But for large, sensitive, delicate items, using a Professional Packing service is a best bet.

3. Create Data Back-Ups

The risk of suffering damage of sufficient severity to lose your business data might seem low. However, the consequences could be catastrophic. Therefore, remove the stress of worrying about such an event by backing up any crucial data. It might cost you a bit to store your data, but this sum will be minuscule compared to the cost of a data loss.

4. Use Your Move To Have A Clear-Out

If you’ve been in your current location for some time, chances are there is quite a bit of non-essential stuff hanging around. It is pointless wasting time and expense on moving things you don’t need. Use your office move to conduct a good clear-out. The Whole Move Company can help you dispose off or recycle such items securely, or we can help donate to your local charities.

5. Hire Professionals

You might think that doing everything in-house will save you money. However, using professionals will save you time and will be less stressful. Also, if something goes wrong during the move, they’ll have the relevant insurance in place to cover the damages. The Whole Move Company has Public Liability and Goods in Transit insurances in place.

6. Understand the New Location’s Rules

Find out what the rules are at the new location well in advance of the move. Understanding any limitations could avoid any hitches when it comes to moving in. For instance, there may be restrictions on the times that freight can arrive. Understanding the new rules can make for a less stressful move. When you hire The Whole Move Company, you don't have to worry about. Our Project Manager makes sure every step of the move is smooth.
