While many people might associate self storage with domestic usage, we also find that many of our customers make use of our self storage facilities for their business. If you’re a business owner struggling with space, self storage offers a cost-effective solution for your needs. In our latest blog, we take a look at some of the most common reasons why a business might make use of self storage.
Storing Stock
There are many reasons why a business might want to store some of their stock in a secure self-storage facility. For example, if you run an online store from home, you may have lots of items taking up a ton of space in your home. By storing it, you can help draw that line between business and work, and use that previously used personal space with something to enhance your person or family life.
Keeping with the theme of stock management for a moment, you can also use a self storage facility to store any seasonal items that you only need to access once per year. For example, you may stock a range of beautiful Christmas candles, but once the festive season is over, it’s unlikely that you will have demand for such items. You can use a self storage facility to keep these items safe and secure throughout the year, and withdraw them once the
Christmas period comes around again.
Downsizing The Office
With working from home and flexible working unlikely to go away anytime in the future, you may be considering scaling back your office to save money on rent and improve working from home provisions. You may have a lot of useful office equipment, such as computers, desks, and storage, that you would prefer to hold on to but don’t have the space in a smaller office to house them. Self storage provides the perfect solution for this issue, granting you easy access to your equipment should you expand again in the future, or employ more staff.
Documentation
While modern technology has thankfully cut back on the requirement for excessive document storage for some businesses, there are still many sectors out there that require physical documents for their clients. Any office worker knows that over time you can amass tons of paper which takes up space and can make filing it a nightmare. You can ease this burden significantly by making use of a self storage facility, which provides you with a safe, dry place to keep any necessary documents that don’t require day-to-day use.
