It’s not just traditional businesses that can avail of self-storage facilities and the benefits associated with it.

Self-storage can be essential for a successful business, but it’s often under-used or not used at all. It can be efficient and cost-effective and can help your business to truly reap all the benefits associated with self-storage.

Thinking Outside the Storage Box

Businesses such as film companies can use self-storage for storing old reels of film, props, costumes etc.

Advertising/promotional agencies can use storage units for posters, billboards, flyers or promotional freebies.

Restaurants and bars can use a storage unit for overflow of inventory such as liquor, glasses/cups, plates, cutlery, cooking utensils such as pots and pans, spare cooking appliances, etc.

This highlights the fact that self-storage is not just useful for paperwork in traditional lines of businesses but can also be expanded to cater for those non-conventional enterprises that not typically associated with storage facilities.

It’s imperative to make the most of your business resources without it costing an arm and a leg.  There are numerous benefits linked to business storage that can be availed of to give you a competitive edge.

An Alternative for Paperwork

No matter what line of business you are involved in, paperwork is inevitable. What is also an inevitability is the volume of valuable space it tends to occupy. Let us help.

You now no longer need to worry about boxes of paperwork and files cluttering your office space.  We understand that you may need to archive these files for future use and reference and therefore need a safe and easily accessible place to store them.

At Storage World, not only can you safely store these important documents but you can also access these files as you please, 7 days a week, to maintain operations running smoothly and avoid any unnecessary hiccups.

Seasonal Needs

Some businesses are very seasonal by nature. Because of this, they may experience both rises and falls during particular times throughout the year, such as Christmas. It would then be advisable to rent a storage unit to house those items that may not be needed for months down the line.

Businesses such as Garden Centres, for example, may set up a Santa’s Grotto during the Christmas period for youngsters to come visit and explore. However, for the other 10 months of the year when this is not required, a storage unit is the perfect solution to store these bulky items that can be pulled out again year after year. This will free up space and avoid on-site clutter for the business.
