When you’re running a business, space is often at a premium.
Self storage can be a useful and cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes. Here are five reasons why you should consider investing in a self storage unit for your business venture:
As a business, it is often important to have a large amount of stock available to meet the demands of your customers. However, this can take over your business premises, leaving you and your staff with little space to work. Using a self storage unit to store some of your stock frees up space in your premises but means you still have easy and convenient access to the items you need. It is also a great idea for enterprises which don’t yet have their own premises. Many start-up businesses are initially run from people’s homes so boxes of stock can take over spare rooms, attics and garages without a dedicated space to store them in.
Many businesses have confidential paperwork which needs to stored securely. Keeping it in a dedicated storage space is an effective way of ensuring access to these documents is restricted only to those who are allowed to view them. Security at Andrew Porter Ltd’s Self Store is robust with individual access-controlled units, round-the-clock CCTV coverage and a state-of-the-art alarm system so you can be confident that your documents and archives are in safe hands.
If you’re a business customer at Andrew Porter Ltd’s Self Store, you have access to a whole host of business services, including free meeting room hire and affordable office space. Small businesses can also use the storage facilities in Adlington, Lancashire or Kendal, Cumbria as a mailing address. There is also free wifi and a café on site so you can answer emails and complete work while you are visiting your storage space.
If you are an online or mail order business, you can send stock out from our storage facilities using a national mail distribution service. We also offer shipment of goods worldwide using a network of overseas agents. This means you don’t have to worry about moving your stock from your storage unit before sending it out. We have a shop on site selling a wide range of packaging materials for your convenience and will dispose of any unwanted packaging for you.
If your business has bulky equipment or display items, or seasonal goods which don’t need to be used on a regular basis, you might want to consider keeping if off-site in a self storage unit. We have units in a wide variety of sizes, including large outdoor units with drive-up access which are ideal for business use.
