With how unexpectedly expensive it can be to start a new business, why make it more so by buying only new office furniture or equipment? Sure, the purchase of office equipment is a legitimate tax write-off, but you'll still need the income to write it off of, and that can be sporadic when just starting out. So, far better to keep your costs low by buying used office furniture rather than new. It's functional, can be just as attractive, and can save you a bundle over new furniture.
If your office is located in your home home, used furniture can be an obviously better choice for many reasons. Bigger businesses look for matching furniture for several different people; but if you're only shopping for one office, the choices should be many. Take advantage of the opportunity to find high quality furniture at more reasonable prices.
If you know where to look, it really does not have to be hard to find used office furniture that is still in very good condition. Don't just rely on office furniture dealerships as your source. You won't truly get the best price from those, because they will want to sell you new furniture instead, and they are the middleman (with a markup to go with it). To really get the most for your money, you should go to a company that specializes in used furniture or specifically has a used furniture division.
At an actual used furniture store, you can find used chairs, desks, tables, workstations, file cabinets, and so much more. Start in the local area in which you live or work, as it's much better to actually see what you are going to buy before you hand over your money. The freight and/or delivery charges will be cheaper if it's local also. If you aren't sure quite where to shop, ask around for recommendations for a place that is known to sell used office furniture.
If you don't want to even run around locally, you don't have to. Another way to find yourself some quality used office furniture [http://lasertargeted.com/officefurniture/office-furniture-save-money-setting-office.html] is to fo some research on the internet. Don't be afraid to get in contact with several companies and see what they have to offer, and compare their prices and policies.
One other consideration to keep in mind if you are looking for used workstations/cubicles, the delivery and installation charges will probably be the same as for new furniture. And, if you buy these items while they are already installed, you will probably also be charged for knockdown. Otherwise, buying used office furniture will be a cost savings over new. Before you go shopping, make a list of what you are looking for, with quantities. Bringing measurements with you will save a lot of time.
Enjoy putting your new office together, and saving money in the process!
