Office clean out. A necessary task because your small company is growing larger and that’s very good news. What isn’t is that the space you’ve been using is now inadequate and you need to find something a bit larger to fit your business’ needs. After searching online for spaces, you start to become a bit frustrated and concerned because the monthly costs are a bit uncomfortable. Then, you have the good fortune of being able to take over a right-sized suite, the trouble is, it’s still cluttered. To get a discount on a couple of months rent, you offer to do the cleanout yourself.
If you are brave and have the help to go the do-it-yourself route, start incrementally, if possible, after hours and on the weekend. Begin with things you no longer need and/or use, paring down to the bare essentials. In general, you’ll have to take any furniture, fixtures, and equipment out that you brought into the space.
A new company experiences a growth spurt and suddenly its co-working space is no longer suitable. Locating the right space and then firming up the lease can pose a challenge for a new business owner. --Entreprenuer.com
In addition to these, work product, cleaning supplies, breakroom or kitchen items will also have to be cleaned out. Now is the time to get aggressive and throw-out as much food and drink as possible to lighten your load. Bring in plenty of boxes and have a sharpie on-hand to label each one so you are organized when you arrive in your new office. Put like items together and when in doubt about future use, either sell it, donate it, or give it away.
