Furnishing your new office without breaking the bank
Starting up a new business is an exciting, stressful time, with so much to consider, plan and research. Once all the tedious but necessary paperwork, business plan, finance and accountancy hurdles have been jumped, it’s time to find a location and a property. Tight start-up budgets are often backed by great business ideas, and budding entrepreneurs know full well their front and back offices will give the first and lasting impression of themselves and their business.
The challenge at this point is how to create the right, impressive environment for the new venture without it costing a small or even a large fortune. Unlimited cash is rarely available at the start of a new business and every dollar saved can be well spent on other essential necessities. Dividing funds successfully between dcor, furnishings, electronic and computer equipment, a business vehicle and more is one of the worst headaches new or relocating business owners will face.
Choosing a simple color scheme such as black or very dark grey with white and adding a touch of color with bright cushions and blinds is inexpensive and gives a good background for the necessary desks, filing cabinets, cupboards, storage units and other items of office furniture. Fixtures and fittings will take a comparatively high percentage of the budget, and comfortable, stylish seating for clients is a welcoming must-have. Checking out designs in upscale catalogues gives a good idea of how to replicate without breaking the bank.
A good way to effectively economize is to find a retailer of nearly-new commercial office furniture. Major companies have large budgets allowing for frequent renovation and refurnishing of office spaces, and their quality, often little-used, cast-offs find their way to retailers such as Auckland’s All Office Furniture Ltd. Recycling is popular nowadays, and the company is a good place to take full advantage of this welcome trend.
Stylish and comfortable front and back offices can be created by deciding on a basic colour and design and mixing recycled furniture with new. This way, cash is saved for the latest in hi-tech computer equipment and other items which make life easier for the small business owner. Invariably, the quality of office furniture offered by the company, whether it’s new or recycled, is several notches at least above similar items in local retail stores and will wear better and last longer.
As regards office furniture, NZ is up there with the rest of the first world countries in design and durability, with the best of the rest easily found and affordable at All Office Furniture’s showrooms. It’s not necessary to take out a loan and spend more than you’d be comfortable with to create an attractive, professionally-styled workspace for staff and customers alike.
From sexy black leather boardroom chairs to wraparound desks and all style of filing cabinets and bookcases, their prices are low and include delivery and assembly within the Auckland area as well as delivery to other regions of New Zealand. The company is a one-stop-shop for all your furnishing needs, whether you’re a start-up or just refurbishing, and may even buy back from you when you need a change of style.
