One of the most common challenges businesses face is having enough space. Whether you are a growing start-up or an established company, self-storage can be a lifesaver. However, with so many options and considerations, it is natural to have questions. Here, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about business self-storage:
- What can I store in a business storage unit?
Business storage units are a versatile solution for a variety of needs. Here are some common uses:
- Inventory management – Free up valuable office space by storing seasonal inventory or overflow stock
- Archiving and document storage – Securely store old files and documents that you need to keep for legal reasons, but don’t need readily accessible
- Business equipment and supplies – Keep bulky equipment, furniture, or marketing materials out of the way but within reach
- Trade show and event materials – Store booths, displays, and event supplies that are only needed from time to time without cluttering your workspace
- What size unit do I need?
This depends on what you will be storing. At Offerfair we offer a variety of unit sizes, from small units of just 15 sq foot that are ideal for files and documents right up to larger units that can hold an entire office worth of furniture. Our pricing guide helps you visualise what you can store in each size unit, and if you need any more assistance as to what size unit is right for you, then don’t hesitate to contact us.
- Will my items be safe?
Security is a top priority for business storage facilities. At Offerfair we have full CCTV across all our seven sites and all units are secured with a padlock which we give free to new customers. You are also welcome to visit any of our sites before making a booking to see how secure our premises are.
- How can I access my belongings?
You will be able to access your belongings seven days a week, 8am until 8pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 5pm at weekends. We believe these opening hours allow businesses to retrieve or store items at a time that suits your business.
- Do I need insurance?
