Many small businesses typically start in a small study or office space in the home, as their business grows they find that the space that was once adequate is no longer.  Moving out of your existing office space regardless if it’s a spare study room, garage or commercial office space can be a testing time for any small business.  On one hand it is important to separate work from home life, an appropriate office space will allow creative thinking and will improve the work place.  By providing the business with more space, it will help streamline processes and create efficiency which in turns to far better productivity. On the other hand, small businesses are time poor and cannot afford any loss in productivity that an office move would create, in addition with the cost of office relocation services; it takes some serious consideration to make the move. Let’s discuss how you can get on top of your relocation without costing your business more than a moving day.

Consider the layout of the new office

You’ve signed the contracts and you’ve made the commitment to establish more presence for your business.  The new space will offer more opportunities and allow the business to grow, think about the new office layout and how office furniture and desks can fit to be most practical.  Take into account where printers should be stationed and areas where staff should be allocated.

Get help from professionals

Reducing the loss in productivity is a priority and moving offices without the proper help is not the best option. Get the help of professional office movers who do this day in and day out, they may be more expensive than what you imagined it to be but it is worth getting the job done once and getting the job done right the first time. Skimping on professionals could risk further loss in productivity, be smart and get quotes from reputable office removalists.

Notify your customers

Before moving it is best to make your customers aware of your office relocation and advise if there will be any impact on business.  Provide customers with the new address and advise what delays can be expected during this time and how you can be reached.  This is vital to prevent confusion and frustration, keep your customers happy and organize the move when it is least busy, typically towards the end of the working week.

Box, pack and label

Your removalist would be glad to provide you with all the materials you would need for the move, ensure each member of your team labels their boxes.  Items that are not labelled or left in open spaces are usually disposed of, so ensure you walk through you old office and ensure everything is packed and ready.  This way the office movers will know what needs to be moved and where it needs to go in the new office.

Office desks have changed and the new focus is on standing office desks, the health benefits argued by many medical professionals seem to be valid and many agree that standing while working is a great way to the blood flowing.  Many people who work at a desk all day long only ever find the need to get up and stretch when going to the bathroom or grabbing a cup of tea or coffee from the kitchen, a standing desk can help provide a choice of options to benefit desk workers during a long working day. Providing a chance to stand can give those legs the opportunity to stretch out whilst concentrating at the task at hand, it could also reduce poor ergonomic  habits by reducing slouching and strain from the neck, back and shoulders.
