You will need to contact your insurance agency to provide information on your new address, and make sure that any risks which could arise from the move itself are properly covered. Also consider hiring some casual labor to clean up the old space, and help pack and unpack in the new location. With careful advance planning, most small businesses manage to move without drastic interruptions in delivering the products or services they market, and many relocate without closing down at all. One hint is to pack everything except the items needed for the immediate job at hand before the move. Those key items are the last packed and the first unpacked at the new location.
Every company undoubtedly has some unique requirement that necessitates special advance planning.
Hendley, for example, had to deal with a 500-pound Photostat camera. We had a professional come out and take our camera apart at the old location because it wouldn't fit through the door. After the movers moved the camera, he came back on Monday to put it back together. When a friend of mine recently moved a lawyer out of a small one-room office, there were more than 200 boxes of papers and books. If you are working with a moving company, it is the best source of strong boxes, and the most economical method is to rent them.
