When moving your company, plan well in advance. Most consultants advise that it takes between three and five months to properly plan corporate relocation. Even if you are moving locally, you will want to investigate the movers thoroughly, with regard to price, service, insurance, and licensing.
For local moves, you will probably pay by the hour, plus the driving time from your old office to your new building. Most moving companies will provide you with a free estimate after examining what you have to move and where you are moving it. Insurance may or may not be a part of your cost. Most movers include insurance in the basic fee, but you might want to purchase additional insurance.
Price should not be the only factor in choosing a moving company for your business. It's a good idea to check references from past and current clients.
Customer service is also a key factor when you move your business. Think about how well you get along with the representatives from the company. Chances are, if they are easy to work with, their staff members will be just as courteous and friendly. Since some of your employees might interact with the movers, be sure that the company you choose provides quality customer service in case there are any problems during the move.
