Tips for a Cost-Effective Office Move
Regardless of the size of your business, it can be expensive for a company to move offices, but this article gives you some useful tips that will help you easily manage your office move and minimize the cost.
Plan Early
Starting the planning and preparation early, not only gives you a head start in terms of time and management, it can also help to reduce the risk and costs associated with moving office. Early planning gives you the opportunity to really think about what you want from the new space, and the terms of the office lease, and gives you enough time to make informed decisions without feeling pressured or rushed.
Saving Money on Office Space
Your office space in an important asset to your business - it's also a costly one - so you want to make sure you end up in a property that matches your financial, operational and business requirements. This means making sure it's the right size for your current and future needs. Too much office space will waste money and can hamper staff motivation - an office which is too small can effect productivity and can mean you outgrow your office space too quickly. Use the Office Space Calculator to find out how much office space your business needs so that you end up in the right size office.
Cost Effective Office Moves
To ensure your office is relocated on time and without any disruption, you will need to engage the services of an Office Moving Company. Their fees for carrying out your office move may vary depending on which Moving Company you use, so it's wise to get estimates in and shop around. Examine each quote carefully to ensure everything is included (insurance, packing, crates etc.) and don't necessarily go with the cheapest quote - the main aim is ensure your office move day goes smoothly to minimize the hassle and get your business back in operation as quickly as possible.
