If you run or manage a business, you probably already know how damaging downtime can be to your daily operations and income. It’s therefore essential to minimize downtime as much as possible when moving to a new location. The best way to do this is by using a professional removals company who specialises in business relocations.
Although there are plenty of options to consider, our team at Brilliance Removals has you covered. In the rest of this article, we’ve outlined a few strategies that you could consider to minimize downtime when moving your business.
Move on a Weekend if Possible
If it’s possible, we always recommend moving your business on a weekend - especially if you usually work Monday through Friday. Moving on the weekend will reduce the impact on your daily operations.
Fortunately, our team at Brilliance Removals is willing to work weekends for your convenience. Working alongside our removals manager you can develop a clear plan to move your business fast and efficiently.
Prioritise IT and Other Essential Equipment
At the same time, it can be difficult to move an entire business in the space of one weekend, especially if your business is larger than average. Because of this, it’s important to prioritise the essentials, including IT equipment and everything else you need for everyday operations.
We can help you figure this out and develop a clear plan to get the essentials moved and operational within hours. It usually helps to appoint an IT manager who understands your systems and how they work to ensure they are set up correctly in your new office.
Plan Well Ahead of Time
It’s always a good idea to work alongside your removalist to plan the move well in advance. Doing so will help you identify any potential problems, as well as things that will require special skills or equipment to move.
If you decide to work with us at Brilliance Removals, we will pair you with a moving manager who will help you develop a clear plan.
Make Sure Your Employees Know What’s Happening
At the same time, it’s crucial to make sure that your employees are fully aware of what’s happening and why you’re moving your business. Ensure they understand their role and what’s expected of them.
In some cases, you will need to ask people to pack up and move their own personal belongings. Make sure that they are aware that normal operations might be interrupted for a few days, but do your best to provide them with the resources to continue normal working operations as much as possible.
