Running A Business From Self Storage

Running A Business From Self Storage

Did you know you can run your business from a self storage unit? Many people don’t know this or even consider it a possibility. As such it’s unlikely you’ll know or understand the benefits of doing so. Let’s show you how…

Perhaps working from home has become the norm for you over the last 18 months, perhaps you’ve worked your small business from home for a while. Whatever your circumstances the benefits of self storage for running a business cannot be underestimated.

1. Free Up Space

Many of us don’t have as much room at home as we’d like, especially with family and pets etc. So adding a working environment to your home can come with some pressures and difficulties.

Many businesses choose Easy Access Self Storage units as a base for their business. If you have stock, tools or anything that takes up physical space a storage unit can be used to free up this vital space in your home again.

2. Work/Life Balance

Creating a distinct separation of work and home life can lead to a much better work/life balance. It’s too easy to work longer hours and never switch off if your work is inherently tied to your home life. It’s also not very healthy and can lead to being less productive.

3. Costs

The cost of a storage unit can be significantly less than traditional office and commercial space. Ask us about business rates and utilities bills and see what savings you can achieve.

4. We’re Flexible

If you need more space or to downsize, no problem. We don’t have lengthy tie-ins and will always work with you to accommodate your needs.

5. Organisation

Keep any stock you hold in clean, dry facilities with excellent security. Stock no longer needs to take over your home when you use a self storage unit!

Can my business benefit from self storage? For most, the answer is yes. Here are some examples of the types of businesses that run from our storage units in Manchester and Stockport.

Online Sellers

If you are selling on eBay, Amazon, Etsy or any other online channel and stock is taking over your home, fear not we can help. Your unit can be useful for organising your stock, stock control, posting and packing, even photographing your items.

Tradesmen

Keep expensive tools and equipment in a self storage unit for space and safety. Maybe your tools are taking over the garden shed and there’s no room for anything else, maybe you’re leaving them in a van over-night and worried about theft, maybe your tools are dangerous and need to be securely stored. A storage unit is the perfect solution.
