Commercial Movers Can Minimize The Risk Of Business Relocation
by Erin Mitchell
Relocating a business is often a significant milestone, but it can also be risky if not planned properly. A moving company might not seem like anything more than one tasked with moving your business equipment from one place to the next. However, pairing with a commercial mover can help you minimize or avoid some of the risks of business relocation.
Equipment Damage
A lot can happen to office equipment in the moving and transport process. An employee untrained on how to properly pack certain equipment could cause irreparable damage or load the equipment onto a moving truck incorrectly, also creating a risk for damage. If you do not have vital equipment at your new location, this will create problems. A commercial mover will take the required steps to ensure your equipment arrives at the new location safely.
Opening Delays
If you have an established customer base, if you give them an opening day, this is the date they expect you to open. Particularly when it comes to a service-based business, a delay in your ability to move all your items from the old location and set them up at the new one can lead to a delay in opening that could ultimately send these customers elsewhere. A commercial mover will work with your schedule to help ensure you are ready to open on time.
Unforeseen Costs
Most business owners are well aware that there are costs associated with relocation, but they might not be prepared for some of the unforeseen costs. For example, if you rely on your staff to move the business, in the event someone is injured, you could be liable for their expenses. Additionally, in the event of equipment damage, you would also be responsible for the replacement costs. Commercial movers come along with a preset price for their services so that you can plan your moving budget more accurately.
Limited Openings
Another opening-related risk that comes with business relocation is limited opening. When you take moving into your hands, you might open on time, but only partially. For example, not every department of the company might be up and running. Some people forget that commercial movers not only pack and transport office goods but can also help set up at the location. This partnership helps ensure your business is fully operational on day one, which is vital to good customer service.
