Cost-Cutting For Startups: Save Big With Used Cubicles
While starting a business is exciting, it can also be quite expensive. From renting an office space to purchasing equipment, the costs add up quickly. One of the smartest ways to keep your overhead low without sacrificing professionalism is by choosing used cubicles and office furniture, and at Talimar Systems, we have options to suit every office type and budget.
Why Buy Used Cubicles From Talimar Systems?
Searching for used office cubicles for sale makes good financial sense, and Talimar Systems offers several advantages over purchasing random pieces from Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, and other similar websites.
1. A Variety Of Styles
We are office furniture liquidation specialists and often purchase cubicles and furniture in bulk for companies that are closing their doors or relocating. This means our selection includes many different types of modern office cubicles and furniture, and many pieces that match, which can help create a more cohesive, polished look in your new office space.
Whether you are furnishing a tech-startup, a call center or any other type of office, we have options to suit your style and budget. We also have pieces from top office furniture brands, such as Herman Miller.
2. One-Stop Shopping
At Talimar Systems, we have much more than just cubicles; we have a myriad of other office furniture, including used storage systems and file cabinets, used office chairs (including used Aeron chairs), used reception desks, conference tables and more. You can purchase everything you need easily and quickly without having to visit multiple sites, saving you time and energy.
3. Quality Pieces
If you buy cubicles directly from a seller online, you really have no way to assess the quality of the pieces until you arrive to pick up your items. At Talimar, we carefully clean and repair all of our used cubicles. While you don’t have the option of choosing fabrics and trim as you would with refurbished cubicles, at least you have the peace of mind in knowing that all of our items are clean and in good condition.
4. Space Planning and Design
Planning an office layout can be tricky, but at Talimar Systems, we offer free space planning and design services for our clients. We can help you choose the type of office cubicles and office furnishings that best fit your business model and lay it all out to create the best possible workflow, even for tight spaces.
5. We Deliver!
With many online purchases, especially through sites such as Facebook Marketplace, you have to pick up the items yourself. This not only takes time, but you have to handle the manpower and find trucks large enough to fit the cubicles and furnishings. At Talimar, we can deliver and set up all of your items, and this is a huge benefit.
Refurbished Cubicles
If you have a bit more time and a larger budget, we also offer fully refurbished cubicles in Orange County and refurbished cubicles in Los Angeles. With these, you enjoy huge cost savings compared with purchasing new cubicles, but you still are able to customize the look of the fabrics, laminate and trim. Of course, we also can provide you with new cubicles and office furniture if you’d prefer that option.
Additional Cost-Cutting Tips
While buying used office cubicles is a smart way for startups to save money, we have a few other cost-saving tips we’ve compiled through the years, including:
1. Use Free & Low Cost Software Alternatives
- Consider using options such as Google Workspace, Slack (free tier), Trello, Canva, Zoom, LibreOffice, etc.
2. Buy Refurbished Laptops and Monitor
- Many retailers offer certified refurbished tech with warranties, and this can be a great way to save money.
3. Utilize Cloud Storage Instead of Expensive Servers
- These days, most businesses do not need a server and you can reduce equipment, maintenance, and energy costs by opting for cloud storage.
4. Use Freelancers & Interns
- Freelancers can be an affordable option for many tasks, such as designing logos and marketing materials, as well as for tasks such as bookkeeping. Interns also can be a cost-effective option for some lower-level tasks, and you’ll provide someone with real-life work experience.
5. Negotiate With Vendors
- In some cases, you might be able to negotiate better rates with suppliers if you purchase items in bulk. You could also ask about payment terms, perhaps extending payments from 30 days to 60 days.
6. Apply for Grants
- The Small Business Administration offers many helpful resources for new business owners, including grants and loans. In addition to federal and state government assistance, there are private companies and organizations that provide grants and resources for small businesses.
