Often, the process of relocating your office or business can be challenging. For a hassle-free office removal service, hiring a moving company is always a great choice. In any relocation - residential or commercial - we have been emphasizing the importance of planning ahead. This guide will help you carry out a smooth move:

• The first thing you need to do is to delegate a moving coordinator to handle the task. Determine what office equipment you need to upgrade or replace. Then make sure that all staff members are informed of the progress throughout the entire moving process. 

• As a business owner, you have been dealing with clients and suppliers. Send them a notice that you are relocating and give your new address and phone numbers. Also, don't forget to update your website so potential clients can find you. 

• Arrange a disconnection/diversion notice for the following: electricity, telephone, fax, mail services, mobile phones, computer communications, and other providers.

• Send notifications of change of address to company offices, revenue commissioners, insurance company, local government, financial and legal services, couriers, press, freight services, and other providers you have dealt with.

• Another important step is ensuring that your new office premises is ready. Check the security measures, communication outlets, and building signage. 

• You should also contact your moving company to confirm the official date of your move as well as the insurance during transport. Confirm items that will be distributed to other offices and those needing storage. 
• Make sure everyone is oriented about access areas then confirm the delivery of equipment, office furniture, and other valuables. 
• Discuss the new floor plan and label accordingly to assist the moving crew when unloading and ensure correct placement of items.
