Moving your office or business is a formidable task. It’s very likely that your move is just one portion of a larger project that will include finding new office space, leasehold improvements, arranging staff services at the new office, physically moving your records, equipment, furniture and IT infrastructure, reconnecting components and restarting operations after your move. It is a LOT to organize, especially when you need to continue to run your core business!

A business move – be it just office or an industrial equipment relocation – is a risky proposition. When you begin to assess your move strategy, you may want to consider beginning with a business continuity plan to help you answer questions about how you would keep your business running if you experienced a disastrous loss of capacity or facilities. Your move could, in fact, be an opportunity to put your plan to the test and guarantee it will work when you need it!

So, about moving your office! You need to consider many elements, such as taking inventory of everything to be moved (and not moved!), contracting a mover, arranging client communications, scheduling connection / disconnection of utilities, staff communication and orientation on the process, … and a thousand other things! Take some time to look at a more comprehensive office move checklist (with a few ideas on how to handle them!).
