There are many reasons for moving a company: unsuitable location or surface area, excessive fixed costs... However, relocating offices is a complex project that needs to be prepared in advance. The sheer magnitude of the task means that company directors often feel at a loss. It requires careful planning and organization. The following is a compendium of advice to guide you through the relocation process.
Office relocation: a project to be prepared in advance
Moving a company is not a decision that can be improvised. On the contrary, this project must be prepared well in advance, on average 6 months before the move. The company manager is faced with planning and organizational constraints that require anticipation. As a result, you need to take the time you need to prepare the transfer calmly, and involve all those involved. At this stage, you need to follow the formalities for terminating the lease and taking out a contract for the new premises. You should also transfer your internet subscription and forward your mail. Don't forget to inform third parties and organizations of the change in your business address. It's a good idea to appoint a moving manager to coordinate the various operations involved in the move.
Company moves: packing and transportation
For a successful office relocation project, an inventory should be drawn up to identify the hardware, furniture and equipment to be transferred. Paper media should be packed in archive boxes. IT equipment must be disconnected and put back into service by experts. This equipment must be carefully transported in special boxes. Some machines, such as photocopiers, require special handling due to their weight and high value. For this reason, it's a good idea to entrust the packing and transportation of these machines tocorporate moving professionals who are experts in handling techniques.

To ensure that your office relocation project goes off without a hitch, we advise you to choose a good removal company. It's best to choose this professional three months before the big day. Don't hesitate to ask for different quotes and compare many offers. The final selection should take several criteria into account. The mover must be a good listener throughout the transfer process. He or she must provide the necessary advice throughout the entire procedure: from drawing up specifications to assessing needs and supervising the work. Being able to handle the move over weekends and public holidays is essential to avoid disrupting your business. For this reason, the moving company needs to be responsive and operational. Movers must be highly efficient in dealing with any problems that may arise, such as access constraints. Equipped with the necessary handling equipment, the moving company must be able to ensure the transfer of specific material such as computer equipment, while limiting downtime for the company.
