When you first open your business your budget is typically next to nothing. New business owners usually have to be as creative as possible with their finances just to get their business up and running. As time goes on the goal is for your business to grow so that money is not tight anymore. When that happens you can start to breathe easier knowing that what was once just a dream is now a reality. One byproduct of your business growing is that you outgrow the office that you originally started in. Even though this is a fantastic problem to have, it can be stressful to think about relocating your office. Here at Laprom Movers we help successful business owners like you move into a new office space. We have some tips to share with you today to help your move be a smooth transition.
Start Planning for Office Move Early
The most important part is to start planning your move early. Not having a solid plan for moving your office can leave you in a pickle that is not a fun place to be in. You could also lose business if your move is not well planned. You will want to make sure that you methodically go through your current office and have a firm idea of all of the things that you need to plan on moving. Most companies give themselves a minimum of two months to plan for their move.
How to Organize an Office Move to a New Location
As you begin planning your move you will want to clearly define who is in charge of the move. If you have a smaller business you may be the person that is in charge of the move. With larger businesses many times the owner will assign someone to oversee the move. That person will be in charge of making sure that everything happens. They will delegate certain jobs to different employees to help make the move less stressful for everyone. Having someone that is in charge will help make sure that nothing falls through the cracks because everyone thought “someone else” was in charge of that part.
Hire a Local Commercial Moving Company
One important part of planning your move is to hire a moving company. Laprom Movers can help you with all of your commercial relocation needs.

Inform Clients of Moving to a New Office
You do not want to forget to let your customers know ahead of time that you will be moving. If you have a retail or medical business this is an extremely important of your move. You should send out some type of card or letter to each of your customers and patients to let them know that you are changing locations. This way you will not miss out on any business after you move. You should also put signs in your old office for the month leading up to your move so that people are aware of your move.
