More and more Aussies are looking to set up their own business, which offers more potential than a salaried position, and with an economy that is on the up, now is a good time to set up a small business operation. The cost of living is higher now than it has ever been, and rather than renting commercial space, you could manage your business from home.
Exterior Workspace
We don’t recommend having an office in the home; it would be difficult to separate work from home life, whereas if you converted one of the 40ft shipping containers for sale by a local company, you can have the best of both worlds. If your DIY skills are non-existent, you can find a local carpenter who can clad the interior and create an effective workspace, with climate control, high-speed Internet and all the furniture and equipment you need.
Economic Value
Setting up a small business demands capital, and leasing office space is never going to be cheap; you can avoid that by investing in a used 40ft sea container, which can be converted to give you a base from which to run your business. If business is good, after a few years, you can lease a venue and expand the operation. If you are thinking of investing in silver, click here.
Concrete Base
All your new office needs is a concrete base that is slightly larger than the container; you have to feed the utilities to the right position, then you will have water, power and an Internet connection. Google can help you connect with a company that creates offices from used sea containers, and they can handle the base and the delivery of the finished unit that is fabricated at their factory.
No Travelling
Working in your home office means you can say goodbye to that awful daily commute; spending a couple of hours a day in a car is not good for anyone, not to mention the cost. Working from home is a real time saver, and you can devote yourself to the business without having to leave your property.
Cloud Computing
The best way to store your business data is on the cloud, allowing you access from any location; talk to a managed IT services provider, and they can explain how setting up a secure private network will benefit your business. You can also use real-time video calls with VoIP solutions, which is another cost-cutter to help you get started.
Government Support
It might be possible to obtain a grant from the federal government, as they are trying to promote the growth of new businesses. The economy in Australia has come through a lean spell, and now things are beginning to improve.
There are many benefits to basing your office on your property; sea containers make for ideal structures for an office.
