Company relocation Berlin
A company relocation involves more than desks and file boxes: it affects processes, availability and the well-being of your staff. We support you in Berlin with clear steps, transparent communication and pragmatic organisation – from the initial inventory to the handover at the new location. Our aim is to minimise business interruptions and give you the room to get back to productive work at your new premises quickly.

Relocate in a structured way, restart productively
Individual inventory
At the start, we work with you to record your inventory, sensitive areas and special requirements. This inventory forms the basis for all further decisions and helps to avoid surprises.
Planning that respects your operations
We draw up a schedule that is aligned with your core hours and workflows. We take into account priorities, critical departments and any interim storage so that important functions are restored as quickly as possible.
Packing, labelling and sensitive goods
We pack sensitive equipment, files and laboratory equipment with suitable materials and clear labelling. This way, workstations and systems quickly find their correct place at the new location.

IT and technology relocation
Servers, workstations and peripherals are relocated in close coordination with the people responsible for your IT. We coordinate the controlled shutdown, safe transport and structured recommissioning on site.
Set-up, ergonomics and readiness for work
When setting up, we pay attention to the ergonomic design of workstations and the functional placement of technology. The goal is for your teams to be productive again quickly and for all interfaces to work again.

Company relocation Berlin – how your business stays operational
A company relocation is not just about furniture and boxes, but about working time, customer contact and data. Every day your team cannot work costs money. Our aim is therefore a move that interrupts operations for as short a time as possible – ideally only over a weekend.
Phases of a company relocation
| Phase | What happens |
|---|---|
| Site visit | Recording of workstations, archive, technology, storage and access conditions at both locations |
| Planning | Floor plan for the new location, numbering system, schedule, contact persons |
| Preparation | Delivery of boxes and archive boxes, labelling, coordination with IT and property management |
| Move | Dismantling, transport, reassembly – often department by department or at the weekend |
| Follow-up | Remaining work, disposal of old furniture, handover of the old premises |
A numbering system that works
Every workstation gets a number, and so does every room at the new location. Boxes, mobile pedestals, monitors and chairs are marked with the same number. This way every mover knows where each item belongs, and on the first day your staff find their workplace just as they left it. We put up the floor plan on every door at the new location.
IT and sensitive documents
We transport computers, monitors and printers in padded boxes. Cabling and network set-up are usually handled by your IT department or a service provider of your choice – we coordinate the timing so that everything is in place on time. Files and documents containing personal data remain in locked containers until they are unpacked at the destination.
Berlin specifics
Office buildings in Mitte, at Potsdamer Platz or in City West often have loading zones with fixed times, goods lifts that must be booked in advance and security services that need to be informed. In commercial courtyards in Kreuzberg or Wedding, on the other hand, courtyard passages and ramps are the issue. We clarify these points in advance with the management of both locations.
What you should prepare internally
- Appoint a responsible person who can make decisions
- Inform staff early and let them pack their personal belongings themselves
- Inform customers and suppliers about the new address and any closing times
- Arrange the transfer of telephone, internet and post in good time
- Sort out old furniture and files that are no longer needed
Costs of a company relocation
The price depends on the number of workstations, the archive volume, the technology and the conditions at both locations. After the site visit, you receive a written quote listing all items. We openly plan in weekend work if required. You can find a general cost overview under Moving company Berlin costs.
For smaller offices with just a few workstations there is our office move, and for medical practices the practice move. You can find out more about us as a moving company in Berlin on the home page.
Company relocation as a project
A company relocation involves more than furniture. It affects departments with different needs, contracts with landlords and service providers, IT and, above all, the people who work in the company. That is why we treat a company relocation as a project with clear roles and deadlines. This page is aimed at companies relocating an entire site or merging several sites. For individual office floors, our page on the office move is more suitable, and for shops and workshops the page on commercial moves.
A project team on your side
We recommend appointing a responsible person internally who can make decisions. In addition, there should be one contact person per department who knows what is needed there. On our side, there is also a dedicated contact person who accompanies the move from the survey to the very last day. This way, questions do not get mixed up and decisions are not made twice.
Departments with their own requirements
Accounting has files that must not get mixed up. Development has expensive equipment and prototypes. The warehouse has shelving and goods. Reception has to be working again on the first day. During the survey, we record each department individually and determine the order in which they move. Departments that are particularly important for operations often move out last and move in first.
Merging several sites
When two or three sites come together at a new location, planning becomes more demanding. Furniture from different sources has to fit into a common layout plan. Some items are no longer needed and must be disposed of or sold. We plan the transports so that the new rooms do not become overcrowded and each floor is furnished in the right order.
Involving your staff
A move creates uncertainty when nobody knows what is happening. Inform your staff early about the date, the new commute and the new premises. Give everyone clear tasks: pack their own desk, take personal items with them, label boxes. We provide boxes and labels and, on request, explain in a short briefing how the numbering system works.
Coordinating service providers
Besides us, other companies are often involved: IT service providers, electricians, telephone providers, cleaners, locksmiths. We coordinate our timings with them so that nobody gets in anyone else’s way. A shared schedule that everyone can access helps a great deal.
After the move
In the first few days at the new location, it becomes clear what is still missing or should be placed differently. On request, we come back for a follow-up appointment to rearrange furniture or carry out remaining work. We collect old furniture that is no longer needed and dispose of it properly.
Budget and approvals
In larger companies, a move has to be approved internally, often with several quotes being compared. After the survey, we prepare a quote that breaks the services down by area: transport, assembly, packing materials, no-parking zones, disposal and, if applicable, storage. This allows your purchasing or finance department to see what the budget is being used for. If the scope changes during planning, we adjust the quote before the move begins. For an initial overview of cost factors, see our page on the costs of a moving company.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How do we keep track of confidential documents during the move?
Confidential documents are labelled separately, packed separately and only moved according to jointly agreed rules. On request, we document the handovers so that responsibilities remain clear.
How do we make sure that business operations are not disrupted unnecessarily?
We divide the move into phases, prioritise critical work areas and work with flexible time slots. Close coordination with your internal contacts allows downtime to be reduced in a targeted way.
How much does a company relocation in Berlin cost?
The price of a company relocation depends on the number of workstations, the archive, production or storage areas, IT and the desired time window. After a site visit, we prepare a fixed-price quote listing all items. Guide prices for offices under Moving company Berlin costs.
What does a company relocation with Lion Umzüge include?
Planning with your project management, labelling according to the floor plan, packing of files and IT, dismantling and reassembly of workstations, transport and set-up at the new location. If required, we split the move into stages so that your business keeps running.
How quickly can a company relocation be scheduled?
For company relocations, we recommend two to three months’ lead time so that IT, telephony and staff can be planned in good time. We can also move smaller companies with just a few workstations within a few weeks.
Can I combine several services for a company relocation?
Yes. For a company relocation we can, on request, provide packing service, assembly service for workstations, clearance of old furniture and storage of inventory that is not needed straight away at the new location.
How are my goods insured during a company relocation?
Liability under Section 451e of the German Commercial Code (HGB) applies to your inventory, i.e. 620 euros per cubic metre of loading space required. For machines, servers or laboratory equipment, you should check your business insurance or add transport insurance.
