Self-storage is great for homeowners and businesses

Whether you’re starting your own business or moving house, self-storage facilities are ideal. They offer a cost-effective, convenient and efficient alternative to traditional storage options. Self-storage allows you to store your items in one location while still being able to access them as needed. You can buy boxes or packing materials from self-storage facilities and pack up all of your belongings for climate control, fire safety and security.

For businesses, self-storage facilities provide more space than they have available on their own property without the costs associated with renting or purchasing alternative locations. This extra storage space is necessary for seasonal demand or overflow from inventory as well as workplace supplies such as office equipment, electronics and other smaller business necessities. Some companies even use self-storage spaces as offices or warehouses, so they operate directly from them. Of course, you’ll need to check the rules and see each self-storage facilities offering, but you’ll be surprised at how versatile these spaces can be.

It’s a great way to not have to pay business rates. Business rates can be quite hefty, so saving on this cost will surely help your bottom line if you are operating out of storage space. Some landowners offer reduced rent or lease rates for people who choose to operate a commercial enterprise (a business) from their premises. With smaller rental units available in both indoor and outdoor units being the most convenient choice, these spaces really are a perfect starting point for anyone looking to run or expand a small business.
