And it would likely to speed up your moving and unpacking process to your new shop.
A single mistake in the process may cause damage or loss to any of your business’ files and possessions. Refer to these practical tips to get you ready and worry-free for moving:
1. Do away with the bad vibe of piles
Have you got some equipment or things that you think is fancy for your shop but haven’t used for months or years? Sell it online or donate to charities.
Your new shop is a new beginning; don’t get it piled up with non-essentials. It may cause you another mess to deal with.

2. Make sure breakable selling items/business documents are well packed
Have you kept some of those packing paper you bought at the hardware stores?
Simply putting breakable items that you sell in a storage box (if there’s any) during the moving process is risky. There is a possibility that it would get damaged since it might fall on the vehicle or while it is being carried. It is important that you should really have something to wrap around and stuff inside it.
While printouts of your valuable documents must not be simply dumped in a box, arrange them one by one to avoid unnecessary folds and torn. You may also wrap it first with plastic to ward off getting wet with water.
If you don’t have enough packing paper, quilted blankets and bubble wrap will also help! Make sure to wrap breakables individually. To make it more secured, you may cushion its boxes.
3. Separate packing for business supplies to the personal one

While having a restaurant may be voluminous since there would be large equipment and cooking utensils to work with in packing. Have all your storage boxes of assorted sizes geared up!
