The secrets of redesigning your office space

by Carol Trehearn, Content Partner • August 20, 2021

The past year-and-a-half has absolutely devastated small and large businesses alike all over the world, and if your small business has managed to survive, it is a testament to your business tenacity.

Now that we are finally emerging through the other side of the coronavirus pandemic, many small businesses are ready to expand their company premises into a professional office space. When doing this, many businesses get things wrong, because they’re unaware of the secrets that they need to follow. To ensure that you have a clear budget, read on to find out more.

Budget, Budget, Budget!

Perhaps it goes without saying, but now more than ever, if you are planning on kitting out a new or existing office space, it is absolutely crucial to do so on a strict budget. No matter how tempting ergonomic keyboards, industrious filing cabinets, and all-over back-massaging chairs are for you and your employees, now is not the time to splurge on such unnecessities.

Instead of upgrading your current computers and other technology, a far more cost-effective improvement would be to refurbish the equipment you already own. If you are kitting out your office space for the very first time, consider purchasing second-hand computers. If you are lucky, it might even be possible to source some free items from websites such as Facebook Marketplace.

Small Business Loans

If you are intent on kitting out your office space with the latest technology or you have a never-ending list of necessary equipment, a small business loan from a professional, established, and experienced lender such as biz2credit could well be the answer.

Small business loans usually have fast turnaround times and rarely ask for any collateral or guarantors. They offer terrific versatility and, when sensibly utilized, can help kit out your office to the highest of standards regarding technology, security, and usability.

Make Your Office User Friendly

Every successful business owner understands the value of their employees as well as their customers, and when designing your office space, it is crucial to keep in mind how user-friendly the space will become and subsequently lead to an increase in productivity.

Don’t Neglect the Aesthetics

Office aesthetics are by no means solely about displaying the right impression to potential clients. Well-designed, appealing décor has had a proven positive impact on employees in terms of focus and productivity. An office’s aesthetics also naturally attract customers and can even stimulate the solidity and reliability of your business. It is vital to consider the design elements and layout of the space carefully before committing to purchase.

Invest in New Equipment

Capital expenditure is crucial in maintaining your small business’s operations and ensuring its continued growth, and when kitting out your office space, investing in new equipment is a sure-fire way to boost your business as a whole.

Aside from the obvious benefits of energy efficiency, new equipment undeniably boosts the productivity of your employees, with up-to-date technology being faster, more responsive, and user-friendly.
