Business Relocation: The Comprehensive Guide for a Smooth Move

Company Removals

A business relocation can be an exciting yet challenging time for any company.
Whether you're moving to new office space, expanding your operations, or simply planning a relocation, the entire process requires careful planning and organization.
Here you'll learn everything you need to know about the various activities involved in a business move, from initial planning to temporary storage and key handover.

The Initial Planning: The Foundation for a Successful Business Removal

The first step in a business move is careful planning. Here are some points to consider:

  1. Assessing Your Needs
    First, consider why the move is necessary.
    Is your business growing? Do you need more space or a better location?
    Having clear goals will help you make your move efficient.
  2. Set a budget
    A realistic budget is crucial. Consider not only the costs of the moving company, but also possible renovations, new furniture, and IT infrastructure.
  3. Define a timeframe
    Set a timeframe within which the move should take place. This will help you plan and implement all necessary steps in a timely manner.
  4. Assemble a team
    Form a moving team with employees from different departments. These individuals can provide valuable insight and help ensure the move runs smoothly.

Detailed Planning of the Business Removal

Once you have chosen a moving company, the detailed planning of the removal begins:

    1. Create an inventory
      Take an inventory of all office furniture, equipment, and materials that will be affected by the move.
      This will not only help you pack, but also help you decide what to sell or dispose of.
    2. Space planning in the new location
      Create a plan for the arrangement of your office furniture in the new space. This will make setup on moving day much easier.
    3. Prepare your IT infrastructure
      Plan the transport of your IT equipment carefully.
      Ensure all data is backed up and that your systems are back up and running quickly after the move.
    4. Communicate with employees
      Keep your employees informed about every step. The better informed and prepared they are, the smoother the move will be.
    5. Notify service providers
      Inform all relevant service providers (internet service providers, telephone providers, etc.) about the upcoming move date.

The Day of the Business Removal

There is a lot to do on the day of the move itself:

  1. The early bird catches the worm
    Start early in the morning by packing the last few things and dismantling furniture.
  2. Coordination with the moving company
    Our team will arrive on time and take care of disassembling, packing, and safely loading your belongings.
  3. Transport to the new location
    While our team transports your belongings, some employees should ideally already be at the new office to prepare everything.
  4. Assembly in the new office
    As soon as our transport team arrives, we will begin assembling your furniture according to the previously created floor plan.
  5. IT Setup
    Ensure your IT department can begin setting up computers and networks soonest.
  6. Inventory Review
    Work with our team to review the inventory for completeness and any damage. This is important, as our insurance will cover any damage, and this requires proper documentation.

Interim Storage? No Problem with Us!

In some cases, it may be necessary to store certain items temporarily – either due to renovation work in the new office or because not everything is needed immediately.

GANZ Möbeltransport also offers storage solutions:

  • Secure Storage
    Your items will be stored in a secure warehouse.
  • Flexible rental periods
    Whether short-term or long-term – GANZ adapts to your needs.
  • Easy access
    If needed, you can access your stored items at any time by arrangement.

The key handover: reason to celebrate!

After the successful completion of the move, there is still one important task to be done – the handover of the keys:

  1. Acceptance of the old office-space
    Ensure that the old office is left in a tidy condition.
  2. Handing over keys to the landlord
    Hand over all keys to the landlord or property management and clarify any questions regarding the security deposit or other contractual matters.
  3. New office opening ceremony
    Celebrate the successful completion of your business move and the new chapter in your company's history with a small opening ceremony! This will strengthen team spirit and create a positive atmosphere in the new environment.
