Setting Up A Small Business? Here Is A Checklist Of Office Essentials

Starting a new small business? If you are starting a small business that needs an office to be set up then apart from business strategies you also need to look into hiring office essentials. We have come up with a checklist to help you with the same.

  1. Choose Office Space:

If you are starting a small business alone without the need to hire employees, then you can use a small corner in your house and set it up as your personal office space. But, if you wish to start a business that requires you to hire employees, then you will have to rent out office space to set up the business. Do not look for a large office space initially, even if you plan on expanding in the future. Look for space just right enough to fit your current set of employees and in the future, if you plan on expanding then you can think about renting out a bigger space later. You can think of choosing an offshore jurisdiction, like the Cayman Islands, for incorporation of a company, if you don’t need a local office and want to benefit from low taxation. 

  1. Rent a Storage Unit:

Any small business needs space for storing their documents or office supplies. Allocating space in the office for this purpose is only going to add on the requirement of renting out a bigger office space which will increase your rent. Instead, hire a storage unit to store all the additional items as it will be cheaper than renting a bigger office space. Storage units are highly secured and environmentally controlled, so you do not have to worry about your things stored in it.

  1. Buy Used Workstations:

Purchasing office furniture can cost you a lot, especially if you lookout to buy a new one. Find out if any business is closing nearby so you can buy second-hand office furniture. As you are in the start-up phase, buying new furniture is only going to add on to the expenses. Try to minimize any expenditure that is unnecessary.

  1. Choose Optimal Communication Channels:

You need to set up a communication system for your business, which could actually be costly. Check out for voice over IP broadband business phone service systems instead of traditions phones as you will be able to save money. You can easily set up chat between the team members, auto-attendant feature to streamline your call routing, route phone calls to the right department and much more.

  1. Lease Office Equipment:

Buying office equipment can be an expensive affair instead you can lease out these equipment pieces including computers, printer and fax machine. The advantage is that it will cost you less initially and also you can get an upgrade every time there is one in the market at no additional cost. You can always lease out more equipment when you hire more employees and return a few of them if you do not need them. The flexibility and low cost are the reason why you should look into this option.

Starting a small business needs you to shell out a good amount of capital and on top of that setting up an office space can become an additional load. By following the above tips, you can save a significant amount of capital on office space and use it towards business development.
