Moving A Business: How To Keep Productivity Up During Big Changes

Moving your company to a bigger or better location can be exciting, but it is also very stressful for many owners. Not only do you have to worry about physically relocating all of your employees and assets, but you also need to continue making money during this process.

Notify Your Customers Early

Contrary to what many people believe, telling your customers that there might be some hiccups with their orders will most likely not have a major impact on the upcoming sales. Some of your long-term customers might even place their orders early and provide you with an influx of cash just before your move. At the very least, this should prevent most major issues with some of your key accounts.

Work With a Moving Agent

There may come a point when trying to move without professional help will feel completely overwhelming. An experienced company such as Wheaton World Wide Moving can help you keep track of all of the moving pieces so that you don’t waste your resources on repairing equipment or tracking down lost items. They also have the infrastructure to make sure your corporate move is carried out without any time-consuming or expensive delays.

Spend Extra Time Packing

Another mistake that many business owners make is waiting to pack until the last moment. Correctly packing and marking all of your boxes is going to save you and your employees quite a bit of time and energy once you make it to the new office. Instead of packing according to the current layout of your office, you should try to group the boxes according to their new destinations. You must also make sure that any boxes containing important pieces of equipment are clearly labeled and easy to get to at all times.

Consider Getting Insurance

Depending on what insurance policy you have for your company, it might not cover any mishaps that take place during a move. Before moving any valuable items, you should speak with your insurance provider to see exactly what is covered. Many of the leading insurance companies offer specialty coverage to protect your items in transit. They might also pay for any serious problems that prevent you from conducting business.

Those who are planning on moving their business should also start this process as early as possible. Moving an entire company is a complex affair, and it often requires months of planning in order to go off without a hitch. Plan ahead and utilize outside resources to make the process as smooth and productive as possible.
