An office relocation is a big step for any business and ensuring that it goes smoothly and to plan is essential if you are to start in your new business premises on a positive note. The last thing you want is a shambolic move meaning you and your employees settling into your new surroundings under the proverbial dark cloud. One of the surest ways to make the experience positive is employing the best possible Toorak removalists you can.
Office removalists are essentially what can make the difference between a disorganised, stressful, and costly office relocation and one which is planned, stress-free, and goes smoothly but to get to this point, there are several steps you must take beforehand. These are the steps required to research, evaluate, and then hire an office removalists company. Specifically, there are five steps we recommend, and these are outlined below.
Establish Exactly What Your Needs Are First
It amazes us when we see business owners researching services that they think they require without actually evaluating what their needs are first. Surely the logical and sensible approach is to determine what their business needs, and then find a service that matches that.
The same applies to hiring office removalists so first determine what services you require including moving services, storage, and packing for example. Also, consider the volume of what you are moving as this will determine what size of removalists company you need.
Ask Those You Know If They Have Any Recommendations
Before you do any detailed research, a great shortcut to finding office removalists who have already proven themselves to be worth considering is to ask around. In particular, any business associates or contacts you have whom you know have relocated their offices recently is a great place to start,
You could also ask around if anyone has moved home recently. Many removalists companies provide both domestic and commercial removalists services so that could be a way of finding a great removalist company for your business also.
Evaluate Their Experience And Track Record
Once you have some recommendations or a shortlist of potential removalist companies, it is now time to start doing some more detailed research into them. Start with their website as this can often give you an idea of their professionalism given that a well-designed website with useful information bodes well versus a cheap two-page site.
Dig deeper by seeing what services they offer, what their terms of service are, what guarantees they offer, and if there are any limits on the services they provide such as distance and number of trucks available.
Check Out Reviews And Testimonials
This is an easy way to build a more complete picture of how well an office removalists company has treated its customers. As well as looking for reviews and testimonials on their website or social media pages, look for them on Google and review websites, including Trust Pilot. Also, check to see if they respond fully to any negative feedback or reviews as this is a great indicator of a company that takes pride in its customer service.
Contact Hem And Consider How Well They Respond
Your final step is to contact those office removalists companies which you still wish to consider. You can either ask for some information or go further and request a quote. Here, the differentiator is not simply the price they quote, but more importantly, how quickly, and how courteously and how comprehensively they respond to your enquiry.
