A decision to set up a small business is one of the most unfamiliar and complex decisions you’ll ever have to make. And one of the many tasks involved in starting a business is building up your office.

Step 2: Budgeting

Assembling a budget capturing the necessary costs is crucial in determining the success of your business. Unless you have unlimited money, the funds required to build your office space and buy supplies can be your most limiting resource.

With that said, a simple spreadsheet outlining all the costs related to office furniture, supplies, rent, and other operational expenses can be a great place to start your budgeting. If funds are tight, you can always take a business loan to cover your expenses.

Step 3: Choose a location and buy/rent an office space

The geographical location of your office space is important. And to choose the right place, you need to consider the accessibility of the workspace, whether it is easy to locate, and if it has enough public transport lines nearby or parking spots for your employees.

When you have narrowed down on the ideal location and workspace, you can move on to deciding whether to rent the place out or buy it. Both options have their pros and cons. You can work with your accountant or real estate agent and figure out the best way to move into the new space.

Step 4: Purchase office equipment and supplies

The last step in building small business is purchasing office supplies. This expense will probably occupy the smallest line in your office set-up budget. However, it cannot be overlooked. Though office supplies are not quite expensive, they must be accounted for nonetheless to avoid overshooting your budget. As a rule of thumb, don’t spend too much time or effort on this task, and also make sure that you only take care of the most basic needs, at least in the beginning.
