Most people who move abroad with their company are offered relocation services by their HR department and these are typically outsourced to a local relocation company in the destination. The relocation company is often different to the moving company, which will purely organise the physical removal and storage of furniture, but little else. Relocation companies, on the other hand, usually offer a full suite of services, including:

  •  Document preparation (including visas)

  •  Meet-and-greet and area orientation

  •  Schools search and registration

  •  Home search and furniture rental

  •  Lease review and negotiation

  •  Utilities setup (TV and cable, mobile, internet, electricity etc.)

  •  Spousal support

  •  Cultural preparation and training
