What does a company move cost on average?

The costs of a business relocation vary depending on office size, distance and the additional services needed. Thanks to our fixed-price model , you receive a binding quote after a free survey with no hidden costs. That way you keep full control of the costs of your entire office move from the start, regardless of extra effort on moving day.

Can our business keep operating during the move?

Yes, we plan every business relocation so that business interruptions are kept to a minimum. Moves often take place in stages or at weekends so that business operations are hardly affected. With a phased plan for office moves , critical areas such as IT and customer reception can be planned specifically and made operational again quickly.

Who takes care of dismantling and assembling the office furniture?

In every business relocation , our team takes care of the complete dismantling and assembly of your office furniture. This includes desks, cupboards, shelving and custom fittings. That way your employees do not have to worry about anything and can concentrate fully on day-to-day business, while we ensure professional reassembly.

Is our IT equipment adequately protected during the move?

In every business relocation we handle sensitive IT infrastructure such as servers, computers and network technology with particular care. We use suitable packing materials and label all devices clearly for reassembly. Servers and data carriers should be backed up and shut down by your IT beforehand; for expensive technology, additional insurance makes sense.

Can file archives and confidential documents be moved too?

Yes, in every business relocation we also transport file archives and confidential business documents in lockable containers. Documents whose retention period has expired should be destroyed beforehand in compliance with data protection, for example by a certified document shredding company. That way only the files you really still need move with you.

Do you also offer business relocations over longer distances?

Yes, in addition to regional moves, we also handle nationwide and international long-distance moves for companies. Details and information on longer distances can be found on our page on long-distance moves . Our team coordinates logistics, scheduling and transport so that even a relocation of company headquarters further away goes smoothly.

Are there differences from a private move?

A business relocation differs considerably from a private move , as business processes, IT infrastructure and larger quantities of office equipment must be taken into account. Planning also often requires closer coordination with several departments. We handle both types of move and adapt the approach individually to your requirements.

What happens if the moving date changes at short notice?

In a business relocation , we respond as flexibly as possible to changes of date. The earlier you inform us, the easier it is to replan; however, a parking restriction zone that has already been approved only applies for the period applied for. So agree changes with us by phone early on, so that team, vehicle and parking space match up.

How is our business relocation covered?

We are liable for furniture, IT equipment and other business items during transport and the move under the rules of the HGB; by law up to €620 per cubic metre of cargo space, and for business customers the amount may be governed differently by contract. For high-value machinery or servers we recommend additional insurance . Report visible damage by the day after delivery at the latest.

How are the costs worked out for an individual quote?

For a tailored quote, we survey your office premises free of charge and record all relevant details such as the amount of furniture, number of floors and special requirements. On this basis we prepare a transparent fixed price for your business relocation . Simply contact us by phone on 01625978461 to arrange a survey appointment.

Can special services such as furniture storage be booked too?

Yes, in addition to the business relocation , we also offer temporary storage of office furniture and business equipment. This is handy if the new premises are not yet ready to move into or archives are to be stored elsewhere. The duration, scope and cost of storage are stated in the quote.

Business Relocation: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How far in advance should a company move be planned?

For a smooth business relocation we recommend around two to three months' lead time. That leaves enough time for the survey, coordinating dates with landlords, IT planning and the application for the parking restriction zone, which takes around four weeks in Berlin. If machinery, a large warehouse or several departments are moving too, planning should start even earlier to avoid business interruptions.

Twelve answers on business relocation: lead time, costs, downtime, files, liability and storage – for offices, workshops and warehouses.

Questions and answers

Business relocation: the answers before the quote

Briefly explained

Unsere Firma Professional on-site moving solutions with secure planning, flexible services and on-time execution.

Before a business relocation, businesses usually ask the same questions: how far in advance should we plan? What does it cost? Can we keep working during the move? Who is liable if a device is damaged, and where does the furniture go if the new premises are not ready yet? At Beste Umzug Unternehmen, after a survey you receive a fixed price and a relocation plan that takes the office, workshop, warehouse and IT into account. We have collected the most important answers here.

From the first survey to setup at the new site, you have a fixed contact person. Our liability for your inventory follows the rules of the HGB; where the statutory limit is not enough for expensive equipment, we discuss additional insurance. If your business is moving to another city, we plan the transport as a long-distance move from Berlin.

STATED OPENLY

What businesses can expect from us

Clear answers, clear price

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21, Moabit) and plan every business relocation so that business interruptions stay short – with a survey, a phased plan and a date outside business hours if necessary. We give you the fixed price before booking. Our liability for your inventory follows the rules of the HGB, and we tell you openly where this liability ends. Places with their own pages can be found under Locations.

One point of contact

From the survey to the final inspection, you have one fixed person for questions, changes of date and the relocation plan.

Dates to suit your business

In the evening, at the weekend or in stages: we set the moving date so that customer traffic and production suffer as little as possible.

Assembly can be included

We dismantle and reassemble desks, cupboards, shelving and workbenches; whether furniture assembly is included in the fixed price is stated in the quote.

Files kept locked

Confidential documents travel in lockable containers that are only opened by you at the new site.

AT A GLANCE

The answers in brief

If you are short of time, you will find the most important answers on business relocation here, one sentence each. They are covered in more detail and with examples in the questions further down this page.

Lead time

Start around two to three months before the move; with machinery, a large warehouse or a new internet connection, earlier is better.

Costs

Volume, machinery, floors, distance and time windows determine the fixed price you receive after the survey.

Downtime

With stages and dates outside business hours, the business often remains partly operational, for example customer service or dispatch.

Authorities

Notify the trade office of the relocation (§ 14 GewO); registered companies also notify the commercial register of the new address.

Liability

By law up to €620 per cubic metre of cargo space (§ 451e HGB); for expensive equipment, additional insurance is worthwhile.

Tax

The costs of a move made for business reasons are usually operating expenses (§ 4 para. 4 EStG) – keep the invoice.

NATIONWIDE SERVICE

Is a shared load worthwhile for businesses?

Ideal for just a few pieces of furniture

For smaller business relocations or individual office units, a shared load can be cheaper: your furniture and boxes travel on a lorry that is heading in your direction anyway. Instead of a fixed day, an agreed time window then applies – for a business with a set deadline, a dedicated transport is usually the better choice.

EUROPE-WIDE MOVES

From
planning to assembly

We take care of every detail

Many questions about business relocation are not about the transport at all: when does the business have to be re-registered? What happens to business post? Where does the furniture go if the new premises are not ready yet? For the latter, there is our storage service. If you are moving privately, you can find information on the private move, and businesses with a new site in another city under long-distance moves.

Planning safe and relaxed

A good checklist coordinates dates, helpers and materials early. That way your home move, senior move or student move in Berlin stays transparent, structured and markedly easier to control.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

With a suitable packing service, careful furniture transport and a flexible small transport, ways can be shortened, damage avoided and even narrow approaches in Berlin managed cleanly in logistical terms.

Costs, timing and special cases

Clear time windows and suitable solutions for an office move, company move, authority move, part load or furniture taxi create reliable processes and better plannable total costs in Berlin.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about business relocation

Lead time, costs, downtime, furniture, IT, files, liability and storage – the twelve most common questions from businesses.

For a smooth business relocation we recommend around two to three months' lead time. That leaves enough time for the survey, coordinating dates with landlords, IT planning and the application for the parking restriction zone, which takes around four weeks in Berlin. If machinery, a large warehouse or several departments are moving too, planning should start even earlier to avoid business interruptions.

Process of a professional company move

A successful business relocation starts with a detailed on-site inventory. We record furniture, technical equipment, files and special requirements such as server rooms or reception areas. We then draw up an individual schedule that takes ongoing business operations into account as well as possible.

On moving day our team handles dismantling, transport and reassembly according to a clearly structured plan. Particularly sensitive areas such as IT infrastructure are labelled separately and handled with the utmost care. On completion there is a joint final inspection so that everything is in its intended place.

Costs and advantages of a business relocation at a fixed price

The costs of a business relocation depend on factors such as office size, distance and additional services such as furniture assembly or storage. With our transparent fixed-price model you know exactly from the start what costs to expect – with no hidden surcharges. This provides planning certainty, especially for larger projects with several departments.

Another advantage is the time saved: while our team organises the move, your employees can concentrate fully on day-to-day business. Our liability for your inventory follows the rules of the HGB; for high-value equipment, additional insurance is worthwhile. That way your business relocation runs efficiently, safely and predictably.

Your move – your price

Every move is different – which is why our prices are based on the size of the flat: 1 room from €365, 2 rooms from €609, 3 rooms from €894 and 4 rooms from €1,269. For houses and villas we prepare an individual quote. If you are moving to another city, we charge long-distance moves from €3.95/km. Arrange a free survey today.

Price factors in a move: what you should know

Besides the actual moving volume, the distance in kilometres (from €3.95/km) also has a considerable effect on the final price. The floor, lift and setting up a parking restriction zone also have an impact. If you wish, you can also add furniture assembly or a shared load.
