OK, so your business is moving to a new location. This could be a very exciting time for your company or a very stressful one. This really all comes down to doing your homework before your move to make sure that you have the right crew for your job.
Lots of businesses looking to move might just hire a regular moving company for the job. This rarely works out in the long run because moving homes and moving offices are very different things and this isn't the good kind of risk your business should take.
Like with all moving companies make sure to find a reputable company that is operating with U.S.D.O.T licensing, legally binding paperwork and positive reviews online.
Here are a few reasons you should consider using a moving company that specializes in corporate moving.
Paper Weight
No not the decorative but someone useless item that sits on your desk... instead consider the actual weight and density of paper itself. Offices can be filled with files and documents. Some companies may have all these items digitally stored but many offices also have physical files or older files still in paper form. Packing and moving files means understanding that these items can have a high bulk weight and certain types of trucks or extra trucks could be needed.
Don't Get Your Wires Crossed
Many times residential movers will not have much experience dealing with computers, phone lines or fax machines at a corporate level. Corporate movers know how to take apart and re-set up this kind of time sensitive equipment and will make sure your office is left ready to start work again.
Timing Is Everything
Corporate movers understand that time is money so even if your office is moving a long distance they will work with your company to have an exact delivery and office set up time at your new location.
Be Assured by Being Insured
Corporate moves need a special kind of moving insurance, one that covers the building you are moving in and out of as well as your sensitive company information that is being transported to the new location. Ask the corporate movers you have chosen about all of their insurance options and make sure that you find one that offers the best coverage to protect you and your business.
