There are many good reasons to relocate your office. From attracting new customers and employees to lowering the cost of business operations and benefitting from tax incentives, you may have many exciting things to look forward to when planning your business move. The relocation process itself, however, may be less appealing.

As a top office moving company, Thomas Transfer & Storage has successfully assisted many Wichita business owners in meticulously planning and flawlessly executing hassle-free relocations. We have created this guide that includes the most important steps to take when planning an office move.

Plan Ahead

If you are considering moving your business, the first step is to think carefully about the reasons behind your move. Do you need a larger space to accommodate a growing business? Are you looking to expand into a new market? Carefully think about these reasons in advance because they will inform other aspects of your commercial move including the location of your new office.

Choose a New Location

The next step is selecting your new location. Be sure that your new office space is the right size for your employees and clients. You should also make sure that it is easy to access and has enough parking spots.

Create a Budget and Timeline

One of the most important parts of your move is creating a budget and timeline. During this step, you may need to enlist employees from divisions like HR, IT, Finance, and Operations to assist in planning and coordinating a seamless move. You should also decide on the timeline of your move. This will help ensure minimal disruption to your daily operations. When you work with the qualified commercial movers at Thomas Transfer & Storage, you can be certain that we will take this information to help plan a seamless on-budget and on-schedule move.

Hire Your Moving Company

Commercial moves can be complex and challenging. It is essential that you hire a qualified commercial moving company to help you coordinate your relocation. At Thomas Transfer & Storage, we have a team of expert office movers and offer customized business moving plans tailored to the needs of your company and your employees. Hiring the right team will be one of the most important steps to ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Contact Agencies and Complete Paperwork

We recommend creating a master list early in the moving process of all the various agencies you will need to inform about your move (including the IRS, the city or county, etc.) and the paperwork that will need to be completed (including change of address forms, bank paperwork, etc.)

Coordinate Details and Logistics

The details and logistics involved in a commercial move seem nearly endless. From figuring out how you will move office furniture to determining the best strategy for transferring IT and phone systems, you will have a lot on your plate. Create a plan early on and stick to it. You can also hire Thomas Transfer & Storage to help you create a moving plan that includes all the services you require.
