In the excitement of starting their own work from home
business, some people overlook a crucial aspect: office equipment and
supplies. Many home-based businesses
rely on paper and using the computer printer to make copies is often not
feasible. Investing in a high-quality copier and some toner cartridges is recommended for any home entrepreneur who
will be duplicating documents.
While taking care of the legalities of starting a business,
the individual should develop a list of required office equipment and
supplies. Even if the person has a
computer, it might not be adequate for business use. In some cases, only software upgrades will be
necessary while in others, a new system will be needed. Now is a great time to buy PCs and laptops
because back to school deals are advertised everywhere.
A compatible printer should be included on the equipment
list. The latest styles feature wireless
print capabilities, allowing printing to take place anywhere in the home. When purchasing a new printer or getting the
current one back into shape, an adequate supply of paper and ink is also
recommended. Keeping some in inventory
ensures there will be no down time due to printer supply shortages.
Next on the list is the copier and it comes in various
shapes and sizes with nearly as many features. The rule of thumb is to select
one that does a bit more than is needed.
This way, when the business grows, a new machine will not be
required. When shopping for copier
toner, look for premium compatible cartridges because these work as well or
better as OEM cartridges and cost much less. Online retailers sell cartridges
for major brands like Xerox, Ricoh, Canon, Konica-Minolta and Toshiba.
Pens, pencils, paper, filing cabinets, hanging files,
folders, a stapler, and a calculator or adding machine are supplies that every
home business owner should purchase.
Binders keep hard copy documents organized on shelves and in closets. Do not forget the three-hole punch because without
it, getting those papers into binders will be difficult.
With a shopping cart filled with everything from staples to
toner cartridges, the new home business owner should be prepared for any
situation. Setting up a home office is
fun but it is also a strategic exercise because furniture and equipment should
be positioned to streamline workflow.
Once everything is in place, the new company will be ready to open its
doors for business.
