Many businesses, from local SMEs to larger companies, are discovering the benefits of self-storage units. Self-storage units can help businesses save time and money and help them retain the flexibility they need to be operational and profitable.
In the current financial climate, businesses are facing ever-increasing pressure to maximise profits whilst their day-to-day costs are increasing, however self-storage offers a cost-effective option to traditional commercial space, which can in turn help their business operate more productively.
Upgrade and Downsize when Required
Many businesses have busier and quieter periods of the year due to seasonal peaks and troughs in demands and are finding self-storage allows them to utilise the space they need more effectively. During quieter times customers can reduce the amount of self-storage space they need, and then at busier times they can increase their self-storage capacity. Renting traditional commercial space does not offer this level of flexibility as customers tend to be tied into a minimum of a six month contract. At Offerfair, we make it quick and easy for customers to change their unit size by simply sending us an email or calling us during our office hours, and we will action the unit size change promptly.
Reduce Overheads
Self-storage is not only cheaper than renting long-term commercial premises, businesses who rent self-storage space also do not have to pay business rates which means a significant cost-saving for them. In addition, with utility bills on the rise, they do not pay for heating or lighting their storage unit, as all these costs are included in your weekly storage cost with us.
No need to Pay for Security
At Offerfair, not only do we have CCTV security across all our sites, every self-storage unit is individually alarmed and comes with a free padlock. To provide a similar amount of security in rented commercial space would be a significant cost to an individual business.
Document Storage
Although businesses can store some data digitally, there are still many documents that need to be archived to satisfy HMRC requirements. Many businesses simply do not have sufficient space to archive physical copies of documents, and have found that renting a storage unit ensures that any legal and confidential documents are housed safely and securely in self-storage.
If you are thinking about short or long-term storage space for your business, then please do not hesitate to contact us to talk through your requirements.
