I’m a huge advocate of starting small when it comes to starting a business.
Early in a business’s life, it’s crucial that you keep your costs down and your expenses lean. Spending too much on startup expenses can spell the end of your business before you are ever really started.
This principle also applies when bringing on new workers. Spending too much on office space, computers, or printers (not to mention salaries), can spell doom.
But that doesn’t mean you can get away with spending no money. And in many ways, time equals money when it comes to the purchases you make.
For example, you can save $50 or $100 by buying a cheaper printer, but you will definitely save yourself time and frustration if you get yourself a reliable printer which won’t jam or break down frequently.
