So, your business has decided to relocate—fantastic! This means that relocating your business has become a top priority over the course of the next few weeks or months (depending on your timeline).

Fortunately, there are plenty of moving companies in Orange County that you can rely on to simplify the moving process.

Once you know where you will be relocating, choosing the right commercial mover is the next big step. So, we have assembled some helpful tips to help you choose the best commercial moving company for you.

SET A REASONABLE BUDGET

Before you finalize your budget, it’s best to get the basics down of what could possibly go into a commercial relocation, such as:

  • Packing services required
  • Trucking & transportation costs
  • Long-term or short-term storage
  • Insurance options
  • Computer & telecommunication installation
  • Floor space configuration
  • Disposal or storage of unwanted items

Once you have prepared yourself a comprehensive list of commercial moving costs, you can feel at ease knowing that a portion of your moving stress has been reduced.

 

RESEARCH QUALITY & REPUTATION

Relocating a business can be tricky work so, you should take the time to review the commercial moving companies near your location.

Though two businesses may look the same on paper, the way they handle their clients can have a significant impact on whether a prospect chooses one commercial mover over another.

For example, research the following to ensure the commercial moving company you’re looking into is credible and legitimate:

  • Quality of Service
  • Efficiency
  • Reliability
  • Expertise
  • Value

You can evaluate these metrics by visiting the company’s website, checking out their reputation via the Better Business Bureau. Additionally, you can assess their reviews using customer platforms like Google, Yelp, Rip Off Report or Moving Scam.

 

DETERMINE SERVICES NEEDED

Whether you need office equipment installation, IT staff assistance, or specific expertise packing, hauling and transporting sensitive materials and equipment, verify the service options you have available from your list of movers and compare them against each other for the most affordable option.

 

PACK & STORE ASSETS

Packing can stress out employees and may significantly affect their productivity. Instead, look for commercial movers who offer full-service packing options.

Your team’s productivity will be unaffected, and another piece of stress is removed so you can return to work with minimal downtime and disruption.

 

VALUATION & INSURANCE OPTIONS

Ensure that your items are covered properly for the upcoming relocation. Determine the amount of insurance needed that matches your property’s value. Prepare yourself to ask your mover questions regarding:

  • Levels of Coverage
  • Eligibility Requirements
  • Liability
  • Methods of Resolution for Lost or Stolen/Damaged Items

 

KNOW WHAT YOU’RE PAYING FOR

Thoroughly look over all estimates you have received. Best practices suggest that you should have at least three to five estimates to compare against each other to ensure you have a sizeable pool of commercial movers to choose from.

Be sure to ask your about:

  • Guaranteed Maximum Cost
  • Options for Payment Terms (if applicable)
  • How Pricing is Set (e.g., by square footage or assets moved)
  • Hidden Charges (e.g., moving bulky items on the weekend)

 

REVIEW ESTIMATE & ASK FOR AN ACTION PLAN

Now that you know what you’re paying for, you’ve likely settled on a commercial moving company that meets your needs! The next step is to for you and your mover have put together an action plan for the rest of the moving process.

This plan will help secure any logistical complexities that could arrive and provide guidelines for your internal moving team, which will increase the likelihood for a successful and stress-free corporate relocation!
