Most people have budget constraints when setting up a workspace for a home business. A little lateral thinking and willingness to compromise goes a long way when it comes to setting up a low-cost home office, but don’t forget to talk to your insurance agency about your plans.

Inexpensive equipment and furniture can be just as functional as high-end “executive” products designed for the corporate market:

• Choose an adjustable ergonomic office chair. It’s worth spending some time shopping around to find a style that suits the shape of your body and supports you well, because you’ll be spending a lot of time in this chair.
• You may not need to invest in a fax machine. Consider using alternatives like electronic faxing.
• Think carefully about the type of office printer you purchase. A low-cost multi-function inkjet printer may be adequate for your needs, but you’ll need to take account of ongoing operational costs for ink cartridges.

Additional furniture or equipment may be needed as your home business grows. Standard Hawaii home insurance coverage may not be adequate to replace all of the equipment and furniture in your expanding home office, so consider increasing coverage or purchasing business insurance protection as your investment in your home business grows. You may also need to consider coverage for business related liability and any special risks your business is exposed to!
