A majority of office equipment do not increase in value and hence these purchases should be treated as expenses and not investments. You can still buy the entire office infrastructure; however it doesn’t really have to be all new. You may perhaps want to purchase new furniture if there is an area in the office where you meet with prospective customers. Wear-and-tear will be heavy in other areas where public image is not a factor. Liquidation sales offer an opportunity to acquire office furniture at big savings. Know the current market price and then shop carefully.
