Garden Offices for Start-up Businesses

Funding your Garden Office purchase

Understandably start-up businesses have to make sure that any expenditure is the right move for the company and so here are some considerations;

1 - Garden offices start at just £6995, looking at some of the UK's lowest and London office rates per sq ft we can see that the bigger the garden office the more economical they become. Also that all garden office models pay for themselves within 5 years, with most garden office models being fully paid for within 4 years. This makes your business essentially RENT FREE from year 5 onwards.

2 - Garden office models are available in small sizes which makes them perfect for individuals.  Starting at just 69 sq ft, they are ideally suited to small businesses/sole traders because most office buildings will not let below 500 sq ft of space to any tenant.

3 -  Start-up businesses can often find grants available from local or National Government incentives under both the "work from home" and "environmental employers" banners. Places to find information about grants for such schemes are your local Business Link, Chamber of Commerce or even on the DTI website. These organisations may also be able to provide you funding or offer additional services to help get your business started as a small start-up business offering.

4 - Banks are more likely to offer business finance on an asset rather than on office rental expense as they then have some security on the lending.
