Which Businesses Are Suitable For Self Storage?

If you run a business one of the many things you may consider is whether there’s a better way to store all your stock, equipment and paperwork. At Grantham Self Store, we have a range of Business Storage Units to keep you functioning at your maximum capacity, even if your business premises is just a garden shed, bedroom or compact office. Below we’ve listed a range of businesses which are suitable for self storage.

Online Retailers

Whether you sell clothes, jewellery, cosmetics, furniture, or toys, self storage is a great home for your excess stock or bulkier items. If your products are bursting off the shelves, then you may want to consider freeing up some space for a tidier and more efficient work environment. The great thing about self storage is that the units are secure and accessible 24 hours a day to ensure that your business can function whenever your customers are ordering your products. We recommend keeping an up to date inventory of all the stock you place into storage and label any boxes or bags clearly. This will make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for.

Self storage is also ideal for Amazon, eBay, and Etsy sellers.

Personal Trainers

If you’re a personal trainer or work in sports, chances are you have a fair bit of gym kit in your home. Whether that’s for personal or professional use, self storage is a great way to store your kit when you’re not using it. From rowing machines, to dumbbells you can place both larger and smaller items into storage. Simply pick them up en-route to your next training session.

Sole Traders

From gardeners and decorators, to cleaners and hairdressers, If you’re a sole trader who relies on your own tools or equipment to get the job done, then we can recommend using self storage to free up any much needed space at home. It’s also a great way to keep your work life separate from your home life as your equipment is out of sight and mind.

Market Traders

If you regularly sell items on a market stall, storage units are a convenient way to manage your stock between market days. While we won’t be able to store your fresh fish, we can store gifts, jewellery, cosmetics, crafts etc.

Event Organisers

Working in events requires a great deal of organisation and you probably end up ordering a lot of decorations and goods in advance. One of the problems with ordering ahead of time is that you can’t always store these items at the event location. However, that’s where a spacious business storage unit can really help.

Antique Dealers

With round-the-clock surveillance, storage units are also a secure option for antique dealers who sell valuable items.
