We wrote about the benefits of mini storage for businesses in general before, find the full article here, today we like to tell you about the small business benefits of self-storage in particular.
Sure your business can start on a small scale, but is it really small in terms of operations? No matter how tiny your office size is, as you grow, you need extra space to store all sorts of items, including product inventory, important documents, office supplies, tools, and other things.
Storing items in your expensive office space can literally burn a hole in your pocket! This is where self-storage comes into the picture. It is interesting to note that small businesses, artists, and entrepreneurs can benefit a lot from their usage.
What is self-storage all about?
Self-storage is a setup in which customers rent space in a self or mini storage facility, to store their personal or business items like documents, company files, stocks, or other equipment. It is a flexible, user-friendly, inexpensive, and simple way of managing your space in a better way. In other words, it is a very agile storage solution. It typically can save a lot of space in your existing office, enabling it to use it for more important things.
What are the small business benefits?
1. Online portals have given many platforms for artists and creatives the means to sell their work across the world. And all those unfinished or finished items can take a lot of space in your home, studio or office. With self-storage, you can alternatively securely put any sort of item or raw materials in an individually-lockable storage unit, coming in various sizes (from 1x1m2 typically being the smallest).
2. Often businesses have equipment that is only occasionally needed, e.g. an event agency might have a list of stage equipment, loudspeakers, turntables, etc. Often items are also broken or need to be repaired. A self-storage unit helps to stock up such unused items, and you can use only the ones that you need at the moment.
3. A gallery or theatre might use a unit it a mini-storage facility to store the pieces for an upcoming event. It’s never nice to see many pieces piling up in your downtown office! A self-storage unit can help you by preserving those items which you don’t need to display currently.
4. If you are running a business that involves publishing magazines, pamphlets, brochures, or books, it is obvious that you would have surplus physical stock with you, which has to be stored. A self-storage unit plays an important role for you, because it helps you to keep your stock safe, and from there itself, you can ship your stock to your customers.
Being an entrepreneur is tough and not for the faint-hearted. Use a self-storage unit to free up space in your office. This will give you more space to think, work, and make it available for more talents! It can make your life easier. Try it!
