Set aside adequate time for the move
Do not rush the move but assign adequate time to make it happen. If possible, close the business to allow for the packing, dismantling and eventual setup. This means you will have minimal distractions of serving customers or other duties. You will have an easier time as you will focus better on the task at hand. You will get it over with in no time. Have everyone involved in the move remembering to label everything clearly. You can use color tags to show where each furniture and box will go for easier unpacking and setup in the new office space.
Map out the setup in the new location in advance
Set up the new office space in advance with clear marking of where everything will go. Ensure you have done all the cabling and other setup in advance. This will mean that communication lines will be up and running as soon as the computers and other systems are in place. You will suffer less downtime as you open up the office. Clear markings ensure you get every station running as there is less confusion of what is supposed to go where. The unloading and unpacking becomes easier as everything just falls into place. Your staff will also be able to set up much easily when they know where their new working areas are.
