Boston Moving Company Offers Advice On Moving An Office Or An Entire Business

Jan. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Humboldt Storage and Moving, greater Boston’s oldest moving company, agent of United Van Lines and experts in low-stress moving not only have expertise in moving households, but also have years of experience moving offices and businesses of all sizes.

The Boston moving company wants to share some of their advice on how to move an office without the added burden of disrupting business for any extended period of time.  There are many things to consider when moving a business, and business owners and managers need the transition to go as smoothly as possible.  Businesses need to consider these tips when planning to move an office:

•   The biggest threat to a business is downtime, so when planning your move, make sure to consider this and schedule the move accordingly.
•   In order to ensure that your move goes quickly and smoothly, make sure to look for experience and reliability in your moving partner, rather than just price.  A poorly executed move will end up costing your business more in the long run.
•   Make sure to review the policies of both your new and old facilities.  Some buildings will require that you use unionized movers while others let you choose whomever you want.  Also, if you plan on moving after hours, check on whether you will have building access.
•   Work with your movers and pre-plan the move so that you know exactly where each piece of furniture will be placed once it gets there.  
•   Have your moving company drop off boxes and crates before the move so that each person can pack their own workstation.  This, along with properly labeling everything, will allow for a quicker transition.
•   Turn off all of your electronic equipment before the movers arrive.  All items need time to cool down before they are moved in order to make sure that they are not damaged during transport.
