A Practical Equipment Checklist for Growing Teams"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening a new office, onboarding a new team or launching a project is exciting, but the first weeks are often taken up by one question: <strong>do we have everything people need to start working?<\/strong> Missing a monitor, a printer or enough chairs can delay a whole team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use this practical checklist to plan the equipment for a new office or team, and to decide what makes sense to rent rather than buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Computers for every role<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the devices your people use every day. Match the specification to the work, not just the job title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Laptops<\/strong> for people who move between home, office and client meetings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Desktop PCs<\/strong> for fixed workstations such as reception, finance or customer service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Workstations<\/strong> with more processing power and memory for design, engineering or data work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note the processor, memory (RAM), storage and screen size each role needs. This makes quotes faster and avoids paying for power people will not use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Screens and accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second monitor can make everyday tasks such as working with spreadsheets, writing reports or handling customer requests much easier. Remember keyboards, mice, docking stations and headsets for calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Furniture and workspace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An ergonomic chair and a desk for each person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meeting tables and visitor chairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lockable pedestals and filing cabinets for documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Shared office equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most offices also need equipment that the whole team shares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A printer or multifunction printer for printing, copying and scanning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A meeting room display or video conference kit for presentations and online meetings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business Wi-Fi and a network switch sized to the number of users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to keep computers and network running during short power cuts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Decide what to rent and what to buy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renting is especially useful when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your team is growing and headcount is likely to change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are equipping a project or temporary team for a set period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You want to keep capital available instead of making a large upfront purchase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You prefer equipment to arrive delivered and set up, ready to use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Plan the timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work backwards from the day your team starts. Leave time to confirm quantities and specifications, receive a quote, agree terms, and have everything delivered and installed before the first working day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Number of people and their roles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laptops, desktop PCs or workstations, with specifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitors and accessories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Desks, chairs, meeting tables and storage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Printers, displays, networking and power backup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start date and expected rental duration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get your office ready with Rentecore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rentecore rents business laptops, desktop PCs, office furniture and office equipment on flexible terms, delivered and set up for your team.
