5 self storage solutions for small businesses
People often think that self storage is mainly for personal use but it can actually offer many storage solutions for small businesses and start-ups. With many businesses finding it difficult to afford a rental space, finding ways to cut back on costs and make the most of a tight budget to grow your small business can be challenging. Here are 5 self storage solutions and benefits for small businesses.
1. Cost saving
If you are looking to save on expensive overheads why not look to self storage for a solution to affordable and flexible space. If you’re already renting or leasing commercial storage space then self storage units can probably save you money. There are no long term lease commitments, no rates and no utility bills associated with self storage units.
2. Improved security
Small businesses don’t always have the resources to ensure a safe and secure facility for stored goods. Self storage facilities have advanced security systems in place all around the facility to ensure maximum safety and security. As well as sophisticated CCTV systems, storage centres can offer additional features such as PIN code access, storage unit alarms and indoor undercover loading spaces. Leaving valuable documents, stock items, or equipment in a self storage unit can be more secure than having it lying around the office premises.
3. Flexible storage options
Self storage is flexible, offering both short and long term solutions. There are no long term commitments like those of leased commercial and industrial spaces. Whether you just need short term storage space while relocating business or want longer term storage for your stock and equipment, self storage will be the best option. There are also various sizes of units on offer, you can also take up more space as and when required to suit businesses ever changing needs.
4. Wide range of storage space
Some small businesses may just need the space to store office supplies or furniture. Others may need to store larger items such as machinery, equipment or spare parts that can’t simply be left in the office.
Whatever your needs, self storage facilities tend to offer a wide range of storage units. You then have the option that fits your space requirements and budget. There are many different sized storage units ranging from smaller 25 sq.ft and 50 sq.ft rooms up to 100 sq.ft and 150 sq.ft garage sized units.
5. Convenient access
Self storage facilities are convenient places for storing your goods. They are often located in easily accessible parts of town and have flexible access hours. Some facilities can offer out-of-hours access and even 24/7 access making it easy to retrieve items when it’s convenient for you.
