The advantages of renting commercial self-storage for businesses

There comes a point in every business's lifetime when the premises they occupy offers less space than needed. It is this point many owners would look at moving to bigger premises or scaling down their operation to make it fit in line with the space they occupy. However, there is a third option, renting a self-storage unit.

There are many advantages for businesses considering renting a self-storage unit as opposed to putting expansion on hold or forking out money for bigger premises that you can’t quite justify.

Self-storage saves on costs

As well as the increase in the rental price for a larger office, there come all kinds of other costs. Increases in business rates and council tax are more than enough to put smaller businesses off from making the leap. However, a self-storage unit can really bridge the gap and allow you to expand whilst at the same time keeping your costs down.

You can use your unit as an archive

One of the main problems with smaller premises is that archiving all your paperwork can soon become overwhelming, as your office quickly gets taken over with folder after folder of receipts, invoices and documents. The benefit of renting a self-storage container is that you can utilise the extra space provided by a self-storage unit to store said paperwork out of the way in a secure and safe environment. Kettering Self Store offers a business archiving service for this very reason, with 24/7 access and state of the art security. 

Stock storage

If storage of stock is an issue then a self-storage unit might very well come in handy, particularly if your stock is mostly seasonal goods. Keeping stock that is only required for a few months of the year cluttering up valuable space in your business can be avoided by transferring it to a storage unit. With 24/7 access you will be able to access your stock as and when you require.
