\n

\nCost Effective<\/Strong>
\n

\nDid you know that 27% of small businesses do not have any IT support at all, and yet 1.3 billion people will be telecommuting by the end of 2015? In addition, a survey of SMBs revealed that 42% believe security is their biggest challenge when it comes to technology. Investing in used equipment frees up money to pay for hardware support as well as IT support services. This makes this goal more attainable for small businesses who don’t believe they can afford an upgrade.
\n

\nStepping Stone<\/Strong>
\n

\nIn addition to being cost effective, buying used equipment can also be a stepping stone for your business. You may buy used routers now<\/a>, but in a few years, you can upgrade those used routers to new ones. Buying used gives you an opportunity to get used to the equipment before splurging on top of the line, brand new equipment. This way, if something goes wrong, it’s not with equipment you paid thousands for.
\n

\nBetter Than Nothing<\/Strong>
\n

\nMany small businesses use no technology in their daily operations, and they don’t even realize that it’s hurting them. In today’s day and age, being off the grid with technology doesn’t make you relevant to consumers or other businesses. Investing in this equipment at least gives you something to work with, even if you don’t feel you necessarily need it.
\n

\nDo you think any used equipment could benefit your small business? How would you use it? Which one of these reasons is the most compelling in your opinion? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
