Office Move Checklist: Everything Your Business Needs to Plan
Planning an office relocation? This comprehensive checklist covers everything from IT infrastructure to staff communication.
3 Months Out: Planning Phase
Appoint a dedicated move coordinator, survey the new premises, create a floor plan, and brief your IT team on infrastructure needs at the new site. Notify key clients and suppliers of your planned change of address.
6 Weeks Out: Communication
Send formal change of address notifications to clients, HMRC, your bank, suppliers, and Companies House. Update your website, Google Business profile, and email signatures ready for the changeover date.
4 Weeks Out: IT & Infrastructure
Arrange broadband installation, phone line transfers, and IT network setup at the new premises. The last thing you want on day one is a brand new office with no internet.
2 Weeks Out: Packing Plan
Implement a labelling system — each desk, cabinet, and item should have a label indicating where it goes in the new office. Provide staff with personal packing boxes for their desk contents.
Move Weekend
Brief the removal team thoroughly on your new floor plan. Have a team member present at both ends to direct traffic. Photograph the old office before you leave and take final meter readings.
Day 1 in New Office
Have a checklist of critical systems to test: phones, internet, printers, security system, and access fobs. Brief staff on new emergency procedures and evacuation routes.
