Work out of home, use existing infrastructure like laptops and phones—don’t buy new ones.
Buy cheap PCs and try for good deals on laptops. Don’t fall for expensive warranties.
Look for cheaper hosting and domain plans.
Use Skype to save on phone bills.
Take your time while selecting cell phone and Internet plans, review them on a monthly basis.
Watch your utility bills—switch off the lights, AC, fans and other appliances when you leave.
Print double-sided and in economy mode with lower tones to save toner; use cheaper paper.
Rent your non-critical office equipment like ACs, photocopiers, coffee machine.
Instal an electric hand dryer in your toilet to save on more expensive paper towels.
