Save Money at the Office

1. Switch your phone system to VOIP. Save about half the cost and it does twice as much. Find a local company that does that and also provides hosted Asterisk services so you have a PBX as well.

2. Buy Apple computers, save a bunch of money on your local IT guy.

3. Cheap tables. I’m currently working at a dining room table, Ikea has some good deals.

4. Google Apps email. Best spam filter around and rarely goes down. You will love this and save a ton of money.

5. Website. If your just starting out you don’t need a fancy website for $5k, get something done and get it up. There are even a few services out there that do this for a low monthly fee. 

The goal is to get rid of your unneeded expenses, you’re a small company you don’t need an IT guy do a much as you can to get rid of him. Everything you have that is technical try and outsource. You don’t need your own custom anything, focus on your main business everything else you want a number to call when something goes wrong. 

Now this isn’t saying be cheap on everything just look at what your spending it on. Having VOIP phones doesn’t make you any less professional, printing your business cards yourself does.
