What items can you store in a business storage unit?

Storage units are often known for storing furniture and old or valuable belongings when you’re relocating. They can also be utilised if you lack space in your home or office. However, storage units can also be useful for businesses, too. Business storage units are incredible storage solutions that allow your business to store a range of items.

Most notably, you can store your products, packaging, stock and items for delivery in a storage unit. You may store items that need delivering to customers or your products that are set to be delivered. In fact, there is a huge variety of industries that utilise business storage, with an abundance of reasons for which they use it. 

Whether you’re an online business sending out physical goods or an in-person company with plenty of inventory, here are some items you can store:

• Products and deliveries – You can store your products and items for sale in storage, be it a range of unfinished commercial products, or packaged products ready for delivery. Online businesses sell their products online meaning there is no need for a physical store, but a storage unit can be perfect for facilitating your goods. Our units provide you with an effective delivery model. (we do not accept food or perishable goods and stock)
• Stock and inventory – Even if you have a physical store, you may have large amounts of products and business stock that need storing; perhaps for use at a later date. Therefore, a storage unit would be highly useful for you. You can store your stock and inventory here too, especially if you have huge amounts of it. Retailers can store their excess business stock, which makes inventory management easier.
• Documents – Though most documentation and files are now stored online, companies are still required to preserve paper copies of a variety of paperwork for several years, forcing them to pay for costly office space. That said, document storage and storage units are more viable and affordable solutions for storing any business documents. 
• Hospitality furniture – If you work in the hospitality industry, you’ll likely have some extra chairs and tables in the event that you need to accommodate extra guests or your other furniture becomes damaged suddenly. Office furniture can be stored too.
• Tools and equipment – If your business specialises in a specific trade or requires tolls and machinery, storing them in a business storage unit is the ultimate way to keep them safe and protected from theft or damage – this is even more so essential since many tradesmen have experienced theft of their tools from their work vans in the past. Our facilities are even great for pallet storage and sample storage.

What is the purpose of storage for businesses?

Whatever you plan on storing in your business storage unit, be it stock and large machinery, or industrial products ready for delivery, storage for business is without a doubt the best solution for ensuring your goods and belongings are kept safe and secure. Again, you may just be storing inventory and tools or materials for your work and products; however, you may also desire a storage unit for when you are relocating offices or redesigning your working space.

If you’re a business owner or run a small business and don’t want to pay exorbitant business rates by storing extra stock on several floors of office buildings or you just require additional storage room to keep inventory, business storage is a fantastic option. When renting office space, you may find yourself locked into a long and expensive contract regardless of your office hours. Our commercial storage solutions, on the other hand, are tailored to the needs of your business and are a cost-effective solution for you.

All business owners understand how much it costs to rent larger offices, how waiting time affects the number of goods they sell, as well as how much shipping costs increase the price you charge customers on their delivery receipt. Storing your products and goods in a storage facility like our very own state-of-the-art storage units in Manchester is the ultimate alternative. This option will not only save you money but will also allow your day-to-day business operations to flow more effectively while coping with delivery collections more efficiently.

Business storage is incredible even for small businesses. While you might think that paying for a storage unit is a stretch in your budget if you are just starting out, our storage units are extremely affordable. Maybe your home-based business was doing really well, but it’s now grown to the point where it’s taking up your entire house and you need extra room for storing things. Or, perhaps you’ve only recently established your company and have soon realised that storing your tools and equipment at home simply isn’t going to work. You needn’t worry or look further into these issues, as simply placing your items in a business storage unit is the perfect option for you.

The benefits of both short and long-term storage solutions for businesses

Boasting state-of-the-art security systems, 24/7 access and surveillance, as well as cheap and affordable rates, both short and long-term storage solutions offer several benefits for businesses. Extensive security measures are in place for each and every one of our storage facilities, whether it be our short-term student storage or long-term business storage units.

A huge benefit of storage solutions for businesses is that logistic expenses are significantly cheaper, and you’ll also be able to arrange a system to collect items strictly on-demand when you need them. Both long and short-term storage facilities are far less expensive than renting an office or warehouse. You get much lower overheads, which save you money that you can use to fund other aspects of the business such as staff training, product development and marketing measures.

Not only are business storage facilities secured with locks and keys, but they are also monitored by CCTV surveillance. This produces a visual record of anyone who has entered your unit, which works as a strong deterrent against any illegal entry attempts and provides extra security for your storage. You have total power over how your business storage facility is secured when you hire it. Small businesses with large teams or more than one major worker will benefit from the flexibility that business storage offers.

Smoke and fire detection are a crucial aspect of security, and business storage utilises highly efficient smoke and fire detection systems to keep your goods and items safe, secure, and protected from fire when they are kept in our highly secure storage units in Manchester.
