So you want to expand your business, but all you’ve got on your plate is a home office and a few boxes beneath your desk, and you don’t know where to go to get yourself some second helpings. Well, now’s the time to change that! There’s a lot of resources out there for entrepreneurs like you, and
There’s room for you here, but is there room for the rest of your business ambitions?
Rethink Your Current Layout
Your have an office on hand, and that’s a great place to start with your business expansion plans. And the best way to get started is to look around you and think how you could better use the space you already have – could your desk move? Could your bookcases be pressed against the wall a little more? Could you get rid of some of the brown-tipped plants sitting in the corner, and find a new home for those boxes you’re always having to skirt around?
Office layouts are hugely important, as they cultivate a positive working environment based on the work you do. Even when you’re doing small time or private work, and using a site like Etsy to sell your wares, you need the room around you to allow for a good flow of traffic, and for all your tools to be within reach.
Get Yourself Some More Room
Room is something you need more of, clearly. You’ve already reworked the space in your home, and pushed everything up against the walls, and you’re still struggling to fit all of your equipment or your inventory in. And that’s where investing in storage units is going to come in handy – lockers in warehouses that allow you to stow all of your miscellaneous items, and keep them near for as long as need be.
Whilst you’re finding an office to rent out, or you’re working with an architect on a plan to renovate your home for a better chance of success, your business assets and products don’t have to suffer.
Get Yourself a PO Box
This can act as the first step of your journey into professionalism. As a small business owner, or an solopreneur working on an idea you know has the potential to be a big hit, you’re going to need a professional address for people to contact you via. It’s a great way to maintain a sense of security and privacy, as well as have a reliable and constantly functioning space to receive packages and any mail whilst you rework your working situation.
Your business can work very easily out of a home office, and it can expand just as easily! Make sure that you’re currently setting yourself up for a long business future.
