Business start-up, the stakes of office equipment

Last updated:

Start-ups and start-ups do not have the financial resources to invest in office equipment. However, these same equipments are essential to the proper internal functioning of a company. This is particularly the case with the image of furniture that allows employees to work in an optimal and comfortable environment. Comfort at the workplace is one of the most important factors in well-being at work. Indeed, it promotes the concentration and productivity of employees. There are several solutions for acquiring office furniture or modern office equipment.

Responsible dimension, the purchase of second-hand equipment

In a personal context, it is common to buy second-hand products, which are more financially advantageous. They are everywhere, from the recent smartphone to computers, furniture or clothing to name but a few examples…

For companies, the same consumption model exists, as well as equipment rental.

Companies like Fleet.eu provide companies with new and functional IT equipment for a dedicated monthly rent. There are many advantages to this type of solution. On the one hand, the possibility of rapid replacement of defective equipment. On the other hand, flexibility in needs with the ability to return the material as soon as it is no longer needed.

This type of consumption, combined with leasing, can be a good solution to save money and equip properly. Other structures also offer start-ups to equip themselves with furniture by reselling their old chairs or desks, for example.

It is a way to be able to equip itself entirely at attractive prices, which is part of an eco-responsible dimension.

In Bordeaux, recovery is taking effect in business spaces

The eco-responsible dimension of office equipment is thus developing in Bordeaux. Indeed, to support start-ups, coworking spaces know how to “recycle”.

The Darwin ecosystem, for example, used only salvage furniture to furnish workspaces,drastically reducing the budget that should have been allocated to the purchase of new ones. Beyond the workspaces, the whole area is decorated with salvage objects: tables made from turrets, skate park made of salvage materials…

This goes hand in hand with the desire to build a greener city, where again many neighbourhoods have been studied to reduce their ecological impact, especially the Business districts, where many companies are setting up to develop their market.

Thus, Bordeaux Euratlantique, with its large buildings covered with windows, so that the heating is brought by sunlight, or wooden buildings, less polluting and expensive than traditional buildings.


For companies that have little resources to devote to the purchase of equipment, “second hand” solutions are attractive and responsible alternatives. This opportunity allows them to opt for more responsible consumption. Finally, it saves valuable resources, which can be used to develop the core business, and thus manage to be profitable more quickly.
