Whether it’s stock that you would like to call on at a later date or archived records and batch printed brochures, there are things that you don’t need for the day to day running for your business but are beneficial for you to either buy in bulk or have as back up. This is where business storage comes in.
Storage units can free up space in your workplace, which can help staff morale as it is less cluttered, while also improving health and safety in the workplace, as there is less for people to navigate around. Storage also keeps your stock or archived belongings safe, secure and well organised (which is especially helpful when you need to call on it at a later date). This level of organisation also allows you to keep track of your stock levels and manage your inventory easily, increasing your operational efficiency through reducing time searching for items. Things to consider:
Security
Because of the nature of the service on offer, storage units come with enhanced security measures including CCTV cameras, restricted access and security guards, which comes with the added bonus of extra peace of mind that your items will be safe. It’s worth checking out what your potential storage provider has in place before you trust them with your items.
How could the climate affect your stock?
It’s also worth checking what your storage provider has in place to keep the area airtight and free of damp and mold – how will they be protecting your items? Will they use special packaging? Does the unit come with climate control?
Are you protected?
What insurances do your potential storage provider hold? It could be that your whole experience with them is without problems, but it’s always worth having that extra level of assurance that should anything happen, you have something in place.
Is your space optimised?
How your items are placed will have an impact on how much can be stored and how accessible it will be once in place. Your storage provider should be experts in taking advantage of every space available, whether horizontally or vertically.
You don’t have to move to take advantage of storage
While many think of storage as something that will be used as a temporary measure when waiting to set up somewhere more permanent, it doesn’t have to be. Storage can give you space and time to operate your business while knowing that everything you need is safe and secure.
