Moving your business to a new state is a huge and exciting event that can be really eventful and also kind of scary. Relocating across state lines can be pretty stressful to coordinate and pull off, especially if you haven’t done the proper planning required for a move of that scale and type. To make sure your business’ relocation is done correctly and efficiently, follow our tips for moving businesses out of state.
There are a lot of reasons why your business might be making a big move. If there are better goods, services, suppliers, or lower operational costs or rent in different areas, businesses may flock to these more reasonable areas. Plus, if your business is located in a less than ideal location, moving might give your loyal employees a chance to live in a more enjoyable area, or one with more to offer them or their kids.
Additionally, if your company does a lot of in-person business with various clients or other businesses in other states, it might make sense to move closer to these people instead of constantly moving back and forth.
At the end of the day, it could also just come down to being able to have larger or better space for your office, warehouse, or whatever sort of space your business is in, at a better value or price than what you’re paying now.
As is the case with any big undertaking like this, there are a lot of risks involved with relocating your business out of state. Most of these risks have to do with overall costs involved with the move, and whether or not your business can handle them.
In addition to moving your business itself, which is already a huge undertaking, you might also have to provide for and pay for the moving costs of your employees who relocate with you. However, it’s worth the cost if you have a staff of continually loyal and hardworking people behind you who are dedicated to your operation.
Additionally, your business runs the risk of losing customers or relationships with the clients that are located near you, all while trying to relocate to strengthen the relationships you have with other clients. It’s a Catch 22 in a lot of cases, so it just comes down to which is the most beneficial for you and your business.
When you weigh the pros and cons up against one another and determine that moving to a new state is the right choice for your business, you need to come up with a detailed and exact plan as to how you plan to coordinate and conduct this move for the good of your business and your employees.
You need to come up with a reasonable timeline, budget, and general expectation for what you’ll expect from your movers, and how long you want to give your staff to look for homes and make the transition.

Great experience with Hollander’s crew: Dominic R, Alex P, and Chris C. They were contracted (military move) to deliver some of our things that had been packed up and stored for a year, in a different location. They were professional and worked without complaints in the heat, placing our items carefully where I requested. They maneuvered a large, deep freezer down a tight staircase easily. They were thorough in helping me check to make sure all our things were accounted for, since it had changed locations/companies a few times before making it here. They were so helpful and courteous – I am very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend them!

The driver was the head of the crew, and he was on top of everything. He made the experience working with Hollander Moving a pleasure. We have used others before but it was our first time using Hollander. Everything turned out great.

Every employee I worked with was courteous, professional, and exceedingly competent. I was nervous about the packing and long distance move (from Illinois to New Mexico, October 2009) and Hollander helped make the move as smooth as possible. Not a thing was damaged or broken

I would recommend Hollander to any company thinking about switching vendors, and any family making a move. A Hollander rep even stopped by my new place when they were unloading just to check on things.
Wonderful service – first class!

Everything Hollander has done was over the top. It was courteous people, polite, caring. Their friendliness was over the top. There was one member of the crew who’d been a friend for 30 years, and the rest was family. I couldn’t say enough about them.

I recently moved from Chicago to Tampa and expected a few road bumps along the way but was pleasantly surprised when everything from loading to delivery was flawless. Everyone I came in contact with was very professional and knowledgable. I highly recommend Hollander Moving and Storage as they are a class act.

This move envolved packing and delivery to four different destinations. Attention to detail and coordination were vital and effectively executed by Tony R driver and his crew. Ardene did a great job coordinating everything. The entire group were both extremely pleasant and efficient.
