Furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E). These are all things in our businesses, but we may not give them much thought daily. We should, though. After all, they’re what makes a business function. From lighting to the table in the break room and the computer you use to get the job done, these items surround us. We wouldn’t be able to accomplish a thing without them. That’s why when your business is relocating, you should take extra care to ensure your items have been entrusted to a reliable mover.

Understanding FF&E

Let’s discuss FF&E’s meaning more. Essentially, the term refers to furniture, fixtures, and equipment not permanently attached to a building that helps create the space’s design and atmosphere. This can include furniture, artwork, lighting, and more. When you’re relocating, it’s anything you can take to the new location.

FF&E in Business

So, what is FF&E in business? Business FF&Es are the things you need to operate successfully and vary based on the department. If used in your business’s daily operations, consider it an FF&E. They can also save your business money when tax season rolls around if tracked correctly. They’re deemed long-term assets that will be reported at their original cost– which you may be able to recuperate. However, office supplies are not considered to be FF&E materials. The title applies only to items of significant value. For example, two of a receptionist’s FF&E items would be their computer and phone. Other examples of business FF&Es include:

• Tools and raw materials used to produce your products
• Office furniture (desks, chairs, etc.)
• Kitchen appliances
• Lighting fixtures
• Research and development materials and tools

Transporting FF&Es

FF&E transportation is important when planning a commercial move because it is a company asset. If they get lost or damaged, you’ll eat the cost and don’t want to waste funds on that. When choosing a mover, consider:

• Ratings and reviews—Always check to see what past customers say about the service they received to get an idea of what to expect. 
• Insurance– Trustworthy FF&E movers should offer insurance coverage so you can collect a claim in case of an accident during the move.
• Professional accreditations– All movers must register with trade associations, meaning if you can’t find a record of them, RUN!
• Moving materials—Some FF&E may require special care (e.g., wrappings to avoid damage, disassembly, etc.), so you need a mover who can provide it.
• Experience– Your FF&E is valuable in more ways than one, so you need an experienced mover who can handle the task.
