2. Moving Tips for Small Businesses
When moving your business to a new location, proper planning
saves you time and money. Packing and unpacking take time, and
haphazardly placing critical support equipment in your new space
can result in ongoing inefficiencies (Where’s the copier? What
happened to my filing cabinet?). Fortunately, moving your small
business to a new location doesn’t have to mean days of disruption.
Brandon Morris, president of North Dallas Moving and Storage, has
years of experience planning and executing small business moves.
From getting everything ready to go into the truck, to ensuring the
new space is ready to receive your equipment, Morris has the
process down to a science. And now he wants to share his expertise
with you.

3. 5 Tips for an Efficient Small Business Move
1. Get onsite estimates, not online quotes
Your moving company needs a clear understanding of everything you
plan to move. Morris says the vendor should conduct a detailed onsite
inventory early in the process. "We never give quotes or prices without
doing a visual survey," he explains. "So much can go wrong."
Anything large or cumbersome may require special moving
equipment, and your estimation of how much you need to relocate
could be way off. An onsite walk-through lets the vendor accurately
gauge the labor and equipment required to get your team moved
quickly, and it will also ensure the final bill doesn’t hold any surprises.

2. Listen to the experts
During the survey, pay attention to your vendor's advice. Those
suggestions will save you time and money. "As we walk through the
office, I give tips and ideas on moving," Morris says. For example, you
can move some filing cabinets even if they're full.
3. Embrace efficiency
"The totes make it clean and simple," Morris says. His company’s
quotes typically "include delivery of the totes three to four days prior to
the move, and I determine the number of totes they’ll need while doing
the onsite office survey." Once employees fill each tote, they just close
them up and slap a label on them. The moving vendor retrieves them
shortly after the move for use on the next job.

4. Plan ahead
It's a move: not a free-for-all. Creating a floor plan and a seating chart ahead
of time helps everyone get situated in the new space with a minimum of fuss
and disruption. Coupled with good signage in your new location, this process
saves time and lets the movers place totes, furniture and other materials
where they need to go.
5. Purge before you go
It’s simple math: the less stuff you have to move, the faster and cheaper your
move will be. Most small businesses have the equivalent of a "back room,"
where old desks, chairs and computer monitors have gone to die. "Either
donate the old equipment and use it as a tax write-off, or sell it to a used
furniture place," Morris says.
