Welcome to WHT! What are you going to use the server for? Company portal, source code repository, email, etc? If it's all the above, I suggest that you get a nice-spec server with around 8GB of RAM and slice it (virtualization). You could use one slice for development, another for company info, etc.
There many providers that advertise in this forum so you should be able to find great deals.

Hello, You will have provide us with more inputs before we can suggest you.
What is the purpose of the server / servers?
What Application / OS do you plan to host?
Is the Application memory intensive or processor intensive or both?
How much storage?
Number of users concurrently logged in?
Do you plan to run a database as well on the server?
ideally you should go for a quadcore (maybe dual processor) and minimum 8GB RAM. Storage to your needs.
Hope this helps,

By BPO so you mean Business Process Outsourcing, Butter Pork Onions, or something else?
To start with I would suggest one of the better shared web hosting companies. It would cost less than a dedicated or VPS server which you probably would not need initially. In time when your company grows you can always move to a dedicated or VPS server.

It is all depend on the budget. Why don't start with something like dual quad xeon, with 32 GB of RAM and 8x300GB SAS drives. That server for sure will be more than enough for almost any task for a long time (including unknown BPO )

Depending on the scale of the unknown BPO, that wouldn't probably be even 1% enough.

Well, you start out with Business Process Outsourcing, then you run YUM, and it becomes Butter Pork Onions
