When people think of self storage, they usually think of somewhere to store goods when moving house, but Self Storage has a number of benefits for businesses as well.

  •    Reduced clutter in the office area

•    Cost savings by reducing office space required, or enabling buying in bulk

•    Easy access to a site where multiple staff can access items 24/7

•    Individual pin code access and records of when staff are accessing your unit

•    Business Security in offsite storage of back-up documents and records

1.        Start-up Businesses

For most new businesses, start-up costs are high. Having a storage unit can assist in saving costs by allowing you to work from home or a smaller space whilst establishing your business.

At Eagle Eye Self Storage we have a range of unit sizes allowing you to expand your space as your business grows.

2.        Sales Reps

For businesses with employees who work remotely, or regularly travel away from head office, a base where stock, advertising material and customer information can be delivered to or kept can provide an added efficiency. It can also make life easier for staff members when visiting clients. Access at Eagle Eye Self Storage is 24/7 so there is no delay in accessing goods.

When you have a staff member on leave or are managing a change in employees, a self storage unit is an ideal place to leave the company vehicle to ensure it is secure.

3.        Marketing and Events

Businesses with a marketing department or who run events know how much space some of the items required for this take up. A self storage unit allows bulkier items and items not regularly used to be stored somewhere out of the way, yet still easy to access.

4.        Stock Overflow

A great many outside factors can influence the availability of stock to your business:

Supply chain shortages, customs delays and port congestion, transport availability, labour shortages, weather and seasonal demand just to name a few.

In the long term, ordering non-perishable stock and being able to store it in your self storage unit results in a more regular supply and improved service to your customers.

Short term, a self storage unit is also ideal for bulk ordering of stock for busy times such as in the lead up to Christmas sales.

5.        Trades, Handyman and Landscapers

For businesses always on the go, not all items fit on the truck. Self storage provides a secure option for storage of tools and equipment that can be accessed at any time.

Drive up to the door units provide an easy option to store larger items such as mowers, ladders, machinery, trailers or even vehicles.

6.        Online Businesses

Businesses selling online still require somewhere to locate their stock. A self storage unit allows for receipt of goods, sorting and packaging of inventory and dispatch of customer orders, without taking over your home.
