## I have my Office Location - Now What? Equipment and Furnishing Check-List for Private Practices

Becoming a professional solo practitioner means staying on top of things. Staying on top of things means keeping organized. Keeping organized means you need the right kind of office furniture and fixture.

## A Word on Cutting Corners

Before we get started - food for thought. The oncoming list might seem long and expensive. You might go through it and think: “Ah, I don’t need all these items. I can save my money for other things.”

## Plan for the Long Term

Think in Investment rather than Expenditure

Saving might seem a good idea now, but it can come back to bite you in the...neck...later on. Cutting corners is almost best practice in start-ups, and sometimes necessary. However, with each investment you delay, really consider how it might affect your workings and processes. Then make a decision whether you can cross the item off the list or not.

## Check-List:

- Electronic Equipment: printer, copier, fax machine, phone line (+voicemail) if necessary

- Computer system and hardware: online management system for private practices, anti-spyware, malware software

- Filing cabinets or storage units with a lock for confidentiality

- Inviting furniture, fixtures and decor for the waiting room

- Welcoming office setting for the ‘therapy space’, e.g. comfortable seating

- Effective office workspace equipment for you when you have to produce documents and write reports

- Stationary and other knick-knacks

Once that's all sorted, let Therasoft take care of all your documentation needs.
