Office Supply Checklist

When setting up and office from scratch, it can be difficult to think of all the expendable office supplies and small office equipment that the office may need for your desk and work room. Below is a list of basic supplies you may want to consider purchasing for your staff or yourself when setting up a new office. Some of the more inexpensive and/or expendable supplies you may want to consider buying in bulk from a warehouse type vendor.

When choosing a vendor, consider one with next day delivery and a great exchange or return policy. In the beginning, it is hard to judge how quickly the office will go through the expendable supplies and what preferences staff have so it is best to monitor use over the first month and order replenishments based on usage over the first month and then the first three to six months.
