5 reasons to start using storage units for your business

If your company is based in a physical office, you know how quickly things can grow. Whether you’re expanding your team or have had a few successful years, clutter within an office space quickly piles up. From extra technology like computer monitors, old printers and wires to old files that you can’t throw away yet, there are always items hanging around.

What if you could keep these items in case you need them, but have them safely and securely out of the way of your day-to-day business? That’s where business storage units come in. In this blog, we’ll explain just 5 key reasons why every business should consider using commercial storage space for their needs.

Creating more space

One of the main factors for considering commercial storage space for your business is simply because it frees up space in your office. A cluttered office can make for less productivity and does not put forward the best impression when hosting guests or clients. By placing those extra items like old technology and paperwork away in storage, you’re freeing up space for bigger and better things for your business. You can even use it as stock storage for old products, or stock that you have on rotation. This means your office space can be used for other important aspects of your business.

Keep items secure

Another great reason to consider business storage for your company is so that the items you need to be stored can be kept safe and secure. Keeping items in other places such as garages or even in the office itself can be risky. By using specific business storage units at MORE! Self Storage, your items will be monitored 24/7 with CCTV.

Both our document storage in Bournemouth and Basingstoke feature digital CCTV and are monitored 24/7. We also employ the most up-to-date fire and smoke detection systems, so you can rest assured knowing your important items are secure.

Convenience

With our business storage units in Bournemouth and Basingstoke, you can come and go as you please within opening hours.

Cost efficient

When your business is growing, so will the items you have in your possession. From extra stock to old computers and equipment, or even files and paperwork you aren’t able to get rid of, they all add up.

By using commercial storage spaces, you avoid having to make the move to a larger office because you’ll free up so much space. Make the most of the office space you have to grow your team, not accommodate the clutter.

Improve safety

Office clutter isn’t just aesthetically displeasing – it can be dangerous, too. With excess documentation and files in your office space, you’re at a higher fire risk and risk losing important documents in a fire or flood. If old tech and stock are what’s causing the clutter, you’re also more likely to be a victim of theft if these items are out on show in your office.

By using secure business storage, you keep the important items out of sight and at a lesser risk of danger. Business storage facilities like ours at Bournemouth and Basingstoke are guarded by a state-of-the-art security system.
