Boston Movers Blog

I was hesitant to use a moving service, but I had such a great experience with Marathon Movers that I would definitely use them again in a heartbeat. The movers were extremely polite, friendly, and efficient. Kudos to the whole team!

A successful commercial move is essential to your business. You need your move to be efficient and organized from start to finish so your business experiences minimal downtime.

Just considering a moving a business is daunting. Now that you have decided to do it, you need to make other decisions: who is going to pack your office?

In business, time is money. Can you afford to have your staff pack the entire office? Don’t let one of you staff get injured lifting a heavy carton or be unavailable to your customers because they are busy packing. The best way to minimize downtime for your business is to leave the packing to professional movers.

Moving your business can actually be more stressful than moving your home and family. It is hightly likely that during the process of moving your office, it is probable that some aspects of your company will be shut down. Often for periods of time, files, computers, records and phones will be inaccessible.

Make sure you give yourself at least 2 months of preparation. Most people and companies are completely unfamiliar with how to prepare for a corporate move. This can cause much headache and stress.

The most important part of commercial move is to plan everything out in advance. Corporations need to make money; so, if the company is not up and running, the company is not making money. It is very important in a corporate move is to be cost-efficient. One of the ways to do this is to be efficient. The less time spent moving, the more cost-efficient your company will be.

One way to save time is to ensure that you are very familiar with your new office. Know the size of the new rooms. It is important to make sure your desk, chairs, and filing cabinets fit inside your new space. Make a floor plan for each office and space before the move and give a copy to each employee.  Being organized before the move will not only reduce the stress for the employees, but for the movers as well.

Communication is also key, when it comes to a corporate move. Make sure that everyone, including employees and landlords, is aware of the details. Everyone needs to know the moving plan and their responsibilities plan before the move. This makes for fewer questions on the day of move.

Obvious, but often overlooked: be sure the movers know where every piece of equipment and furniture is supposed to go. 

By following a well thought out and organized plan, with every person understanding their role will make for a better, more stress-free corporate move.
