In this post, you\u2019ll learn the top three reasons why you should rent a self storage unit for your business instead of leasing or buying a warehouse. If you\u2019re in a hurry, we\u2019ve listed them below for your convenience:<\/p>\n
Where do you see your business in five years? What about in five months? Hopefully you see it growing, acquiring new team members, new customers and\u2014inevitably\u2014more space to store your merchandise. This kind of growth is good!<\/p>\n
Not so good? Expanding overhead costs that eat into your bottom line. Most business owners see this as necessary evil\u2014the cost of doing business, so to speak. Not so fast!<\/p>\n
Today, we\u2019re here to challenge that conventional wisdom with three huge advantages to using self storage for business<\/a>.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s cut right to the chase\u2014depending on your needs as a business, renting or leasing a warehouse can be prohibitively expensive! According to some estimates, the average cost to lease a warehouse for one year is $4-$7 per square foot. This range doesn\u2019t tell us the whole story though. After factoring in your location<\/a>\u00a0and the rentable square footage of your building, you could be looking at two- to three-times the upper end of that estimate.<\/p>\n Sure, for some businesses, leasing or buying a warehouse makes sense, especially if you need a large amount of space. If that\u2019s you, we aren\u2019t here to discourage you from going that route. If you\u2019re just getting started, though, and you need anything less than 1,000 square feet, you owe it to yourself, and your business, to consider self storage for businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n Things change. What made sense for your business last quarter might not apply in the next quarter. Renting a self storage unit<\/a> for your business gives you the freedom to cancel anytime. Or, for that matter, the freedom to relocate to a more strategic location. Whatever the case, you aren\u2019t locked into a long-term commitment, so you\u2019ll be free to rent your unit for as long as you want.<\/p>\n Some businesses are lucky, enjoying a steady upward trajectory month-to-month and year-to-year. Other businesses are subject to seasonal trends that cause normal fluctuations in demand at predictable times throughout the year. Renting a business storage unit gives you the flexibility to add on (or scale back) space as needed.<\/p>\n At StorageMart, we\u2019ve helped many businesses like yours reduce their overhead costs with easy, convenient self storage solutions.
