Self Storage is a Great Solution for All Types of Businesses

July 5, 2014 | posted by admin | in Self Storage, Storage, Tips

Just as with homes, businesses can quickly become cluttered with paperwork, equipment, supplies, and excess inventory, taking up valuable space in your business or office. If you have a new business, a growing business, or are just looking for a way to free up space in your existing location, self storage is the perfect solution.

Self storage units are a great way to make the most of your business space. They can serve as a warehouse or extra office, providing you with a place to store everything from equipment and furniture to inventory and promotional materials. This can save you on the rental costs of your business space, eliminating the need to move to a larger commercial space, which is significantly more expensive than renting a self storage unit. Self storage units provide you with easy, 24-hour access to your unit, on-site security, and climate control, all without a long-term lease. Rent a unit from AAA Self Storage of Topeka for just a month or two during your peak season or rent it year-round if needed. In addition, you can easily adjust your storage, moving to a smaller or larger unit, as your needs change.

In addition to serving as a warehouse for product inventory, self storage units can be the ideal solution for a variety of business needs, including:

• Renovation or Relocation – Store your furnishings and product inventory in self storage while you’re remodeling or moving to a new location.
• Archiving – Most businesses have a tendency to amass a large amount of paperwork, including personnel records, client records, accounting documents, and invoices. Self storage is a great place to store documents from previous years. You can easily access these documents when needed without taking up valuable storage space in your office.
• Seasonal Storage – Self storage is perfect for accommodating extra inventory needed for your peak months without having to pay for extra storage all year.

AAA Self Storage of Topeka recommends self storage for all types of businesses and industries, including:

Offices – Store office supplies, records and documents, extra furnishings, and infrequently used office equipment in your storage unit.

Sales and Pharmaceutical Representatives – Self storage is a great place to store samples and inventory, eliminating the need to pack your car or clutter your home with boxes of products, while still providing 24-hour access and climate control.

Internet-Based Companies – If you operate an online business from your home, self storage units provide a secure, easy-access, cost-effective solution for housing your inventory without turning your home into a warehouse.

Retail – Store excess inventory, merchandising materials, promotional displays, display cases, mannequins, seasonal decorations, and paperwork in a climate-controlled unit with secure, 24-hour access.

Restaurants – Self storage is a great place to store extra tables and furniture, linens, seasonal decorations, catering equipment, and more.

Contractors – Self storage is the perfect place to store large, bulky tools and equipment, such as ladders, tools, parts, lawn mowers, snow blowers, and more.

Realtors and Property Managers – Store your promotional materials, as well as lawn equipment and maintenance items. Self storage is also a great place to stash excess clutter while you stage property.

Interior Decorators – Self storage is a great, secure place to store clients’ furnishing during the renovation process. It can also be used to store samples and products.

Medical, Dental, Legal, and Financial Professionals – Store records and other documents that you don’t need to access frequently but need to keep secure for legal requirements.

When using self storage for your business, it’s important that you keep an accurate account of the items stored in the unit. Make an itemized list when you move it and keep a running inventory going forward. Keep the inventory list in a central location that can be accessed and updated by any employees who may have access to the unit.
