How Self Storage Can Help Your Business Grow
Issue: May 2024
Are you a business owner on the lookout for strategies to streamline your operations and promote growth? Partnering with a self storage company could be the tactical move your business needs to boost its efficiency. More than just a place to store your stock and equipment, many self storage facilities now offer a comprehensive range of services designed to support your business needs.
What Are the Benefits of Business Self Storage Units?
Saves Office Space
With self storage units, you can keep extra stock, paperwork, and equipment off site, freeing up office space that is at a premium. A decluttered office creates a more conducive work environment for employees. Plus, it looks neater and more professional to customers and business partners who might visit.
Confidential Document Storage
Most businesses have mountains of important paperwork. While most documents are digitised, companies are sometimes legally required to keep paper copies of certain contracts and records. Self storage units provide a practical solution for storing documents securely while meeting legal requirements for protecting their confidentiality.
Offers a Scalable Solution
As your business expands or adjusts to seasonal demands, your storage requirements will naturally fluctuate. Self storage provides a flexible option, enabling you to increase or decrease your storage space based on current needs, all without the commitment to long-term contracts.
Provides Flexible Lease Terms
Self storage facilities generally offer flexible leasing options, so you can rent a space for short or extended periods, depending on your needs. This flexibility is vital for businesses with varying storage needs. Many self storage companies also provide flexible notice periods for vacating your unit (typically seven or 14 days).
No need to commit to rigid, long-term leases that might not accommodate your space needs in months to come — self storage evolves with you. You’ll only pay for the space you need for as long as you need it.
Heightened Security Features
Today's self storage facilities come with sophisticated security measures, such as 24-hour CCTV surveillance, secure access controls, and in some cases, on-site security personnel, giving you confidence that your business assets are securely protected. Most self storage facilities also offer insurance options to protect stored items against unforeseen events such as theft, fire, and natural disasters.
Which Additional Features Can Self Storage Facilities Offer Your Business?
Business Hub Facilities
For businesses, particularly retailers with inventory, the presence of business hub facilities within self storage facilities is a major benefit. These hubs often include:
- Hotdesks, providing a space to work and manage inventory updates promptly
- Meeting rooms for client meetings and strategy discussions with your team
- Wi-Fi, printing, and other office necessities
- Free parking

Moving Services
Many self storage facilities simplify the logistics of moving stock with affordable moving services, which may include:
- Vehicle access for transportation
- Trolleys and pallet jacks for moving goods effortlessly
- Forklifts for lifting heavy items
Not only are these services cost-effective (and sometimes even free!), but they’re also highly convenient, saving you the hassle of organising third-party movers or renting out equipment yourself.
Packaging Supplies
Having the right packing materials is crucial for the safe storage and transport of your items. Many self storage providers have packaging stores on site, where you can buy everything you need, from boxes to bubble wrap.
