Business Storage: Solutions for new businesses considering using a self storage company
When establishing a new business, there are a number of challenges one can face with time management, personnel and cost control being top of the list.
Fixed bottom line costs always reduce the final amount of profit generated for a business so it pays to eliminate nonessential costs within the business and reduce expenses to keep healthy profits.
As the business grows, one way of eradicating relocation costs and increased rental obligations for larger office space is to create more space in a current premises. Business owners can save money by opting for a business storage centre that offers ‘all in’ pricing – meaning there are no hidden unwanted charges- in addition to securing space for stock storage, spares, inventory, archiving and records management.
Look for additional benefits such as flexibility to up or downsize anytime at no charge, a ‘no commitment’ policy giving business owners the freedom to go whenever they require and free wi-fi – enabling you to literally run the business from the storage space if needed – saving time and money.
As a retail business grows, another huge bottom line expense is the hiring of warehouse space, equipment and staff members. That and the costs of postage and distribution can have a large impact on profitability overnight. One option is to use a self storage solution to facilitate the logistical side of the business until you are big enough to require dedicated space on a more permanent level.
Some self storage facilities even hire professional store teams who act for their customers when they are absent, making or taking deliveries and collections seven days a week, with fork lift if required – eliminating the need for additional members of staff and allowing business owners to concentrate on the growth of their business.
Time management can also become problematic for the owner of a new business since the owner is often faced with trying to manage and grow the business while simultaneously running the operations; playing several roles to begin with – from Managing Director to receptionist and Personal Assistant all at once.
There are self storage facilities that allow business owners to take control of their incoming paper flow (brochures, magazines, invoices, etc.), organise their existing papers and documents and establish archives by creating a bespoke record management system to suit their needs. The customer decides whether to use bar coding or scanning systems, receive 24 hour or same day retrievals or the flexibility to access their own documents.
