Moving Services For Dallas Small Businesses
Your small business is growing and it’s time for a relocation. Congratulations! This is an exciting time for you, but it also adds another challenge to your plate.

Benefits of Working With An Experienced Small Business Moving Company
We Know Your Challenges

We Work On Your Schedule
We know that your hours are not standard, and with our personalized moving options, your move doesn’t have to be either. You don’t have the luxury of closing up shop for days at a time, so we can work with you to offer you a move that minimizes disruption to your business and your customers.
We Treat Our Community Like Family
Unlike national moving companies, Longhorn has kept a small business approach to business. Simply put, our customers are our family and we take great pride in our service to you.

Key Things To Consider Before Your Small Business Move
Moving to a new office or storefront is a big step for your small business and will open new doors for growth opportunities. To get there though, you will need to be prepared. Longhorn doesn’t just want to help you move your things from one place to the next, we want to go the extra mile to make sure your overall experience is as stress-free as possible. Below we have outlined some important things for you to consider before your small business move. Not all of it relates to what a moving company can do, but we are more than a moving company. We are your moving partner.
Start The Preparation As Early As Possible
In any facet of business, preparation is key. Moving is no exception. Plan ahead and make a checklist and detailed timeline of events and tasks, and stick to it as much as possible. Give yourself an honest estimate of the amount of packing supplies you will need - and err on the side of caution. The same can be said about the estimated time you will need to pack. Schedule your moving company in advance so that you aren’t left franticly searching for a company with availability on short notice. And last but not least, let your customers know of your upcoming move in advance so they can prepare for any business hour closures.
Schedule Your Move At The Right Time
Most businesses have peaks and valleys, so pay close attention to that when timing your move. If you’re slower on certain days of the week, or during certain months of the year, those are optimal times to move if you have enough flexibility to arrange that. Not only will you save yourself stress, you’ll spare your customers the inconvenience of the impact your move may have on them.
Set A Conservative Budget
While your decision to move may ultimately result in a financial gain for your business by setting you up in a better location, it is important to consider the direct and indirect costs associated with your move and budget for those costs accordingly. Make a line item budget consisting of the costs for packing supplies, overtime labor, a moving company, gas, any service transfer fees, and potential damaged or lost inventory during the move. Equally important, take into account the indirect costs of the move, such as lost revenue during the downtime. Be conservative in your budget, meaning, plan for more expenses than you think are realistic - giving yourself a worst-case scenario outlook to avoid unforeseen issues.
Contact All Suppliers And Service Providers
One of the biggest hassles of moving is contacting all of the necessary parties because it often gets forgotten about, and for a business, the list may be long. Anyone who provides service to your company, like a product vendor, a utility provider, or your bank, will need to be notified of your change of address. And don’t forget about the government. The city or county you do business in will need to update your business license, and of course, the IRS will need to know you’ve moved. Spend the time to carefully review anyone who needs to be on this list and make them aware of the move - and be aware, you may need to follow up several times to get confirmation that they have acknowledged your messages.
Advertise Your Move
This may seem obvious but amidst the chaos of a move you may forget to tell the world! Use your move as a marketing tactic to let your potential new customers know that you’re coming to their area. Start the marketing process early so people have a chance to be exposed to it before you take up shop in the new location. If you have the luxury of owning or leasing your new space in advance of your move, create excitement with signage at the storefront. And never forget about the power of digital marketing. Post your move on your website and social media pages so you can begin to get online traffic specific to your new location.
Pick The Right Moving Company For You
Last but certainly not least, do your research to find and hire the right moving company for you. We hope that will be Longhorn Moving, but even if it’s not, we want you to have a great move. Hopefully the tips you’ve learned here have helped. And if you decide Longhorn is the best option for you, we’ll be prepared to make your small business move seamless and stress-free.
