Finding The Best Office Equipment

Whether you’re setting up a home office or office space for your small business, you’ll need the latest equipment to run smoothly. We’ve got some recommendations for you for everything from hardware, printers, scanners and paper shredders to accessories like surge protectors, laptop bags and partitions. See our ultimate guide to office equipment (coming soon!) for all of our reviews.

TIP: If you own a small business, we highly recommend getting an Amazon Business account to help streamline all of your business ordering needs — and to enjoy frequent discounts and free shipping. Learn more about other account perks in our article all about Amazon Business.

An Alternative To Buying Equipment: Rent A Coworking Space

Don’t have the budget for a dedicated office space or new equipment? Many small businesses (and freelancers) are turning to coworking spaces to rent fully-equipped (and sometimes support-staffed) office space. See which networks we recommend to find the ideal coworking space in your area.

Virtual Communication

In addition to having all the essential office equipment, you’ll need the most efficient ways to communicate with clients, remote team members, customers and others. In our office communication section, we cover everything from reviews of the best online fax services and VoIPs to online tools that can help virtual teams optimize their collaborative efforts and productivity.

Software & App Solutions

We include everything from time trackers and business receipt scanners to itinerary organizers and password managers.

Help Desk Software

Your customers are the heart of your business, so it’s crucial to give them plenty of avenues to get in touch. Using online customer support shows them that you care about their entire experience, from questions about your products or services to any assistance they might need with a recent purchase. We review the best help desk software for small to large-sized businesses to help you decide on the ideal option.

Ways To Optimize Your PC & Data

Keeping your PC organized is paramount to having a productive work day. And we’ve got plenty of advice for you to do just that.

Do you waste precious time searching for files you saved eons ago on your PC but can’t remember where they are? We’ll show you how to use a desktop search engine to save you time and stay organized.

Back Up Your Data

Speaking of your files, what would you do if your hardware got stolen or damaged or a virus wiped out all of the data on your computer? It’s crucial for any size business, whether it’s home-based or a large corporate office, to back up your files to another location. The best way to disaster-proof all of your data is by backing it up online. See our reviews of the best online backup services, which include pros and cons, features, pricing and more.

Save Your Disk Space

It’s also a good idea to periodically clean up the files on your PC to save disk space. This will also help it run faster. There are numerous tools you can use for both Macs and Windows PCs that are relatively inexpensive. See our review of CleanMyMac for just one of several great options.

While you’re cleaning up the data on your Windows or Mac PC, you may run across some file formats that look entirely foreign. Don’t just delete them if you’re not sure what they are! Some could be essential for programs running on your computer. Use our comprehensive guide of file formats to learn more.

TIP: Be sure to keep your PC clean. See our tips on how to clean your PC, which include some recommendations for PC vacuums to keep your office space dust and pollutant free.

• Email – Having trouble with Outlook or Gmail or need to learn some tricks to make them more functional? See our office email guide (coming soon!), where we also recommend some of the best office email services.
