How to Budget Your Company Relocation
Budgeting for your upcoming business moves requires more than just getting a quote from a moving company, although that is a major part of it. Start by creating a spreadsheet where you can easily input cost information to form a grand total for your move. It may also help to categorize the expenses to keep things organized. Included in the spreadsheet should be all costs associated with the move, such as:
- The cost of moving into the new office space, including monthly rent, security deposit, and building maintenance expenses
- New office furniture you may need to purchase, such as cubicles, chairs, and conference room tables
- Additional technology you may need to acquire, including large flat-screen monitors, computers, IT infrastructure, RF distribution systems, and more
- Repairing any damage to your existing office space if that is required as a stipulation of your current lease
- Paying your employees any extra wages you might owe for additional packing and moving work they do
- Consulting fees for IT companies, lawyers, brokers, office designers, and general contractors, as you may require services from any or all of them
- Early termination fees that may be written into and applicable to your current lease
- Additional taxes that must be paid, which are not currently included in your rent
This list is most certainly not comprehensive, as every business has its own unique relocation needs. One thing you can be sure of is that hiring Atlantic Relocation systems is the right call.
