With online shopping becoming increasingly popular every year, the e-commerce business model has risen significantly in popularity. Not only does it save on office/shop space, but it also allows smaller artists and businesses access to a lot of potential customers. However, the downside of running an e-commerce business, particularly for those who require a lot of material or stock, is that it can quickly take over your home life! This is where self-storage can help…

Free up space in your home

One of the key reasons for choosing self-storage is that it immediately frees up space in your home! Forget your spare bedroom, your home office or your kitchen table being taken over, a self-storage unit allows you to choose the right space for your items and keep your home/work life division. Even better, you can be flexible with the space you need. For example, at busy times of the year such as Christmas, you can expand to a larger space before going back to a smaller space once the holiday rush is over.

Save money

A self-storage unit is also a lot cheaper as a storage option. Unlike a rented studio or shop, you won’t be charged council tax, business rates or high rent charges. Instead, you pay one flat price for your unit. This is massively helpful if you’re a smaller business that’s on a strict budget as well as helping you to easily calculate your business finances.

Better security

Storage units provide a safer place than your home to store your items. Not only are the conditions controlled to ensure your goods won’t be broken or damaged, but you will also benefit from CCTV, staff and heavily secured storage units.

Have deliveries signed for

Best of all, self-storage at M store comes with the bonus of being able to sign for your deliveries and put them away in your unit! This means you won’t have to wait around for deliveries to arrive, freeing up your time to focus on other areas of your business.
