Congratulations on becoming your own boss! You now have the perfect opportunity to create an effective work area suited to your tastes. Whether it's a nook, cranny or a separate room, your work area should be conducive to performing your daily work.
A well-organized work space also means efficient invoicing, expensing and follow-up, which translates into dollars in your pocket. For home-based businesses, organization is doubly important. A good system can help set boundaries between home life and work life, giving more time to actually enjoy the freedom of being your own boss.
Make a List
With the product or service you have in mind, can you handle the business from your home the way it is right now? If not, what do you need to do to get it ready?
Will you need space for inventory, supplies, records and/or equipment?
Do you already have an area you can use for your office or will you need to bargain with another member of the family to give up some space?
Is the nature of your inventory or equipment such that special climate needs must be accommodated?
Do you need to add a room, enclose a patio, convert a garage or basement, or stake out the attic?
What kind of power needs will you have and will you have to make any alterations to accommodate them?
As you determine what you'll need, keep track of your estimate costs because you'll need them later in this exercise.
Establish a home-office space
Find an appropriate work China Electric Bicycles Company area. Look around your home and find a spot that you will be comfortable working in. This can be an open closet space, a nook in the family room, or a spare bedroom. Before you start organizing, make sure your office is in the right place. You're going to spend most of the day here. Don't banish yourself to a room you don't like. Often, people plan to put their office in a spare bedroom they never use, except they hate that dark, isolated room and wind up doing all their work on the dining room table!
Just keep practicality in mind while designing your office. For example, if you need to keep an eye on small children while you're working, then make sure your home office will allow this. Another thought is to ensure that you have some privacy with a curtain, door, or structure. This will enable you to conduct business calls as needed as well as separate your 'work time' from your 'family time'. Slowly purchase any needed equipment that you'll need to get your office ready for business, including a computer, printer, fax machine, copier, paper supplies, and a good Internet connection. My suggestion is to invest in the core equipment you need, and add as you go. Remember, these are all business expenses!
