Why Use a Storage Unit for Your Business

October 11, 2020 By Don Gracia

Is your business in dire need of additional storage space? Perhaps you require a quick solution to the latter, one that doesn’t add to your overhead cost? If so, then you might want to consider using rental self-storage units as a solution. How is this so?

Now you might have already used a self-storage service for personal reasons. Perhaps you’ve had to downsize your home or relocate to a new residence? In any case, you will need someplace to hold your belongings until you can decide what to do with them. Well, businesses can face a similar predicament in that most establishments require ample space to operate — restaurants, showrooms, department stores, pet shops, etc.

Look around, and you will find that there are self-storage facilities that cater specifically to businesses. While it is unlikely that you’ll be able to run operations directly from the storage facility, you are free to use the space (except using it as store/office space) to further your business.

If you find that you are running out of storage space at work or for your business, then you may want to consider opting for off-site rental SELF storage units. However, is that the best option available?

What advantages can businesses expect when renting a self-storage unit?

Indeed, self-storage units can be a big boon for businesses, and it all boils down to flexibility. Let us say that your business needs to relocate, but the place isn’t ready yet. You can’t afford to cease operations and need a place to store your assets temporarily. Rental self-storage services fit into that picture perfectly and help facilitate a smoother transition.

Another area where the flexibility of self-storage facilities shines is when you’re dealing with fluctuations in operation. For instance, the business might be slow at the beginning of the year but eventually ramps up towards the holidays. If so, then you should hold on to surplus stocks and equipment until you require them.

Any other reason why a business should rent a storage unit?

In many cases, businesses don’t just tackle responsibilities around the production and sale of goods. Your business may likewise handle logistics, which traditionally means leasing a warehouse. Self-storage units are more affordable and convenient than the latter and offer more bang for your buck.

Some might also argue that it’s a good idea to spread your stocks across different storage locations, so they’re not all in one place. Doing so reduces your risk should anything happen to one of your storage units. You obviously won’t have this luxury with warehouses unless you’re a large corporation.

Another reason why rental container storage has become so attractive to businesses over the years is that it might be possible to get a tax break out of it. This is something that you would want to verify with your accountant.

Note that self-storage facilities often offer special rates to commercial users. This is because businesses usually lease storage units for months or years at a time. Hence, the managers at these facilities are often happy to give you a discount, if it means getting the storage facility fully booked for most of the year.

Providence Self Storage is a family owned and operated self-storage and truck rental business. Our facility was built on a tract of property that was family held since 1934, and we are the third-generation owners.  

We offer a safe, clean, and well-maintained facility which is fully fenced, gated and under twenty-four-hour video surveillance.  Our facility provides standard drive-up units from 5×5 to 15×40 as well as temperature-controlled units from 5×5 to 10×20, all located on one floor for easy access.   We are also an agent for Penske, the industry leader in Rental Trucks.
