If your lease is up, or you’re just looking to relocate the office to a more prime location, then you must be wondering what steps you should be taking. Finding the right location, terminating utility services, and finding professional services to move everything for you can be quite a stressful and daunting task. If this is the situation you are currently in, then a few tips should help you get started.

Location

Chances are that you already have a new office building bought and ready to be occupied. However, if you haven’t, you can hire a real estate agent or get on any one of the scores of websites that will help you connect with people who are selling buildings in the area of your choice. Make sure you choose an area that is easy to access and commercial, or people will not be likely to get to you. Your employees should also be able to easily access the building without having to take ages traveling.

Planning for the Move

Contact a Sydney removalist company early, make arrangements for shutting off power in the old building, and inform customers and any organisations you might work with about the address change. Take stock of everything in the office, from equipment to supplies, as you don’t want anything to go missing or get stolen in the moving process. Account for time issues and plan accordingly. It will take a few days for you to move everything to the new location, set up, and open. 

The Moving Process

Make sure that the furniture removalists Sydney arrive early, as packing everything correctly and loading up the trucks will take all day. Make sure you have a way to keep track of the items being transported. Arrange for some of your managerial staff to help in overseeing the process, as this is a job that you cannot handle alone. Try to hire a company to clean up after you. Especially if the place was rented rather than bought, you will need to leave it in the best possible condition.

Setting Up

It will take some time to set up when you reach your new location. Days, if not weeks will go by before you are ready to open to the public. Prioritize the key departments, specifically administration and infrastructure-related areas. It will be a bit chaotic at first, but be patient and it will fall into place soon enough.

These are not the only ways to make the moving process go smoothly, but the information provided here should help you stay organised.
