Many of our regular customers at M-Store are business owners. From small independent boutiques to extensive companies operating across multiple locations, they’ve all found value in investing in a self storage unit.

Interested in knowing how your business could utilise one? Let’s get started.

1.     Storing seasonal stock

If your business updates its stock as summer turns to winter, and vice versa, you’ll need somewhere to keep all the bits and pieces that are going into hibernation. Somewhere safe, where they aren’t taking up unnecessary space for half of the year, but will be easy to access again when ready. A self storage unit is the perfect solution.

2.     Saving costs while upsizing

Perhaps your business is booming – to the point where you’re thinking of expanding. But this can be risky. And costly. Even for the most successful businesses, entering this transition can be nerve wracking. Am I doing the right thing? If thoughts like this are keeping you up at night, there is a middle step you can ease into first. Rather than scaling up to a fancy new warehouse that will hold all your new stock, slowly expand to a self-storage unit. This is sure to be much cheaper option than renting a bigger work space, and therefore a far less risky investment.

3.     Keeping valuable items safe and secure

All business own mountains of paperwork, documents… possessions that are far too important to throw away, but equally they take up too much space. Rather than letting them clutter up an office filing cabinet, keep them safe and organised in a self storage unit. Out of sight, out of mind – until you need them, of course.

4.     Protection from the elements

Paperwork, uniforms, old stock… all of these items are at risk of deteriorating if they’re left to gather dust and grow damp in the back of some office. Instead, store them safely in a container unit which is specifically designed to protect your belongings from the elements. At M-Store, your items will be kept in cool, dry conditions, and staff members regularly check the site conditions to ensure this. 

5.     Events

Perhaps you’ve got a tonne of merchandise left over from a recent event that you overestimated for (we’ve all been there). Or a popup stall that only makes an appearance at annual trade shows. These items can be a pain to store – they take up lots of room, but aren’t needed most of the time. That’s why a self storage unit is the best home for them. Not only this, but keeping them somewhere that’s easy to access – somewhere you can park the car in front of, load up the boot, and head to your next trade show – will only make your job more efficient.
