How to Prepare for a Smooth Office Move

Unlike moving your home, moving a business can present unique challenges.  After having recently moved our own office we here at Mooney’s would recommend the following tips:

Address Change:

Contact the United States Postal Service to change your address. This website is simple and easy to use.  Discount coupons are also provided once registration is complete.

Phone Service:  

Call your phone service provider early!  Phone service interruption is one of the biggest hassles when moving your office.  Have a backup plan ready.  We had all incoming calls routed to cells phones for a 48 hour period just to be safe.

Utilities: 

Contact Peco to transfer electrical service.  Don’t forget Aqua PA (or your local water company) to stop/start/cancel service.

Moving company:

Obtain at least two on-site written estimates from your local moving company.

Notify your customers: 

We found Constant Contact to be a great way to send a large volume email blast to notify everyone of our address change.There are obviously more challenges than are mentioned here.

However the above topics will provide a good foundation for planning your move!
