Corporate relocation is more than a move—it’s a strategic shift. Let us help make it seamless.

Why Hire Professional Corporate Movers?

Are you in the process of hiring corporate moving specialists to manage a complex business transition? 

Hiring a qualified corporate moving service is not just a matter of convenience—it’s a strategic decision. Here’s why top businesses rely on professionals:

  • Minimized Downtime: Keep your team focused while experts handle logistics and transport.
  • Scalable Solutions: Services adapt to moves of any size—from one employee to an entire HQ.
  • Cost Efficiency: Prevent workflow disruptions and property damage with a well-executed plan.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Fully licensed and insured movers ensure legal, safe relocations.
  • Employee Satisfaction: Smooth moves reduce stress, supporting productivity and morale.

Planning Your Corporate Move: A Timeline

A strategic timeline is key to managing your relocation effectively. Here’s a breakdown of key milestones:

One Month Before the Move

  • Book your corporate mover.
  • Declutter common and storage areas.
  • Notify your current property manager and initiate change-of-address tasks.
  • Donate or sell unneeded items.

One Week Before

  • Label boxes by employee or department.
  • Finalize your floor plan for the new space.
  • Coordinate with your assigned move coordinator.
  • Identify and prepare complex equipment for safe handling.

Week of the Move

  • Employees pack and clean their work areas.
  • Unplug electronics and prep devices for transport.
  • Hold a manager meeting to confirm roles and responsibilities.
  • Set up signage for both current and future office locations.

Moving Day

  • Designate key point-of-contact employees for movers.
  • Limit staff participation to avoid confusion.
  • Rely on your coordinator for last-minute logistics.
  • Do a final sweep of the old office after departure.

What to Look For in a Corporate Mover

Asking the right questions ensures you’re hiring a mover with the expertise and integrity your business deserves.

  • How long have you been handling corporate moves?
  • Are you licensed and insured for interstate relocations?
  • Do you offer employee relocation services?
  • Can I get a free, itemized quote?
  • Are packing and unpacking included?
  • Can you handle technical or specialty equipment?
  • Do you provide secure storage options?
