COMMERCIAL STORAGE: YOUR BUSINESS STORAGE SOLUTIONS

Using commercial storage units makes good commercial sense, especially for small or home-based businesses that need to carry stock.  For many small businesses, it simply isn’t viable to rent or invest in commercial property. And since  there is only so much you can store in a garage or that spare bedroom, what other option is there but to rent a public commercial storage?

 But space isn’t the only problem for storage at home or in a small office. There is also the issue of security. And we are not only talking about the threat of theft.  Fire, flooding, and other disasters can strike and the chances are, household insurance won’t cover your stock. Normal commercial storage buildings are liable to council tax or business rates, and this is another key reason why small businesses in particular find self-storage so much more viable because the provider has liability for this.  The only tax you pay when renting a commercial storage space is VAT and of course if your business is VAT registered, this has little effect.

Aside from security features, public commercial storage facilities also boast on cost-effectiveness. Commercial storage facilities have its own separate niche of storage and it’s geared toward businesses specifically. Such companies often have a variety of services that are specifically tailored to a business. Most of these commercial storage companies dispatch and receive goods for you, which make your company’s operations a lot smoother. They’ll also be more cost-efficient and responsive. You’ll find you have a lot more space to work with. Commercial storage can greatly assist with problems like inventory overflow, seasonal storage fluctuations, and bad stock management.

Improved productivity and convenience are other advantages of commercial storage. Although most commercial storage facilities offer long term storage solutions, it is understandable  that your business may be seasonal in nature with a large amount of interim or excess stock, or you might have a big promotion that involves a lot of exhibition or point of sale display materials for instance. Perhaps your business is moving premises and the new location is not ideal or currently ready to hold all your items.

No matter what, remember that the higher quality commercial storage providers very often offer a range of optional services to help your business run more smoothly, such as taking delivery of goods on your behalf at a dedicated front of house reception, offering the option of additional liability cover, van rental and so on. Look for these before signing a contract with a public commercial storage facility.
