Running a Business? Here’s Why You NEED Storage

There is nothing more important to a business than growth, but when you grow too quickly it’s easy to see why things fall apart. Imagine not thinking you’ll be a success in your business and so you grow too fast and then everything collapses because you weren’t ready for it? That can absolutely happen but if you have the right storage for your business, you will be bettering your business.

With the help of a storage unit you can remain organized, increase your options beyond your home office or your physical office, and you can purchase bulk inventory, too. This allows you to expand your business in new ways and while so many business owners will opt to pay a bigger rent, you could end up saving money. Paying a larger rent for a larger office may seem like a good idea, but it could end with you paying over the odds for utilities and rent on a space that you don’t actually need. Self-storage space can be a game changer for your business and if you find that you need more space than you have, but you don’t want to pay a premium rent on a bigger office, self-storage can be the right option for you. Let’s take a look at all of the reasons why:

  • You can start buying your products in bulk. A storage unit allows your small business to buy inventory of your own products in bulk and that will help you to take advantage of bulk pricing. This will save you a lot of money in the long run and allows you to have more wiggle room as to how much inventory you use at once. 
  • Storage units are accessible when you need them. A 24/7 storage unit can make a big difference to your business and the majority of them are available no matter the time of year. This means that your business can access your equipment when you need it the most. If you are working close by to your storage unit, you can even go and get what you need every week if you wanted to. That level of accessibility is going to help you to run your business smoothly.
  • Reduced pricing. When you have bulk inventory waiting for you, you can take advantage of reduced pricing whenever you want to. As your business lists the items for sale, you can tell whether you have enough of a product to warrant excellent pricing on sales. When you have a storage unit, you can use unused inventory for sales and store it when you need to. This allows you to take advantage of sales and your customers will thank you for it.
  • It’s safe. Storage is safe and with workplace theft on the rise, knowing you have a secure unit holding your excess equipment and products can make a big difference to your peace of mind. No one wants to spend into inventory only to have it disappear from the workplace, right? With the right storage unit invested in, you can keep your equipment and documents in one place under lock and key. You’ll also find that many units have CCTV and other security features that keep your things intact. Important documents, equipment and inventory can all be kept in one place with utmost protection.
  • You can store seasonal items. If you have seasonal decorations up through the year, you can store them in a storage unit. Seasonal inventory is never displayed through the year, so you can use your storage unit to keep hold of it all. If you’re selling clothing, you can keep your inventory per season in the storage unit and not have it littering your business premises. No one wants to see stocks of hoodies and jumpers on a shop floor when they’re looking for dresses, right?

  • You can choose to buy any size that suits. Whether you buy or rent a storage unit, they come in many different sizes. Businesses today are looking for storage units that suit their needs and that includes choosing a unit that is the right size for those needs. There is always the possibility that you can upgrade or downgrade where needed, too.
  • You can declutter your office. If you have leftover equipment and desks in your office, you need somewhere to store them all and a storage unit can be that exact place. If you are dealing with a lot of clutter and it’s stressing you out, then the best thing that you can do is buy into a unit and move all of the clutter out. Not only will you make your space more appealing, but you won’t have to work in the clutter anymore!
  • You don’t have to manage it. Self-storage is self-managed, except for the paperwork! Once the contract is signed, you can let the storage facility management take control. They will continue to manage the finances, they’ll manage the maintenance and they’ll keep you informed if there are any issues.
  • You can get something temperature controlled. The majority of storage facilities offer temperature control which is particularly important if you are storing documents or anything that could potentially degrade in the heat. You want to make sure that your stored items are kept safe and temperature controlled facilities can help with that.
  • It’s a good solution and not too expensive. Lastly, considering what you could be paying utilities and rent, it’s an inexpensive solution to keep your belongings safe, secure and in the right environment. You can grow your business and grow it into a larger space over time should you want to. You might not afford bigger offices or buildings or rent, but a storage unit can be the solution until you can!

If you haven’t considered a storage unit until now, it could be everything that you need for your business to really spread its wings and grow. Take the time to choose the right one and you will be a success.
