Suitable

Business storage varies greatly in style, size and location. Often, businesses find that the most practical business storage is that which uses the American model, with drive-up access to your own unit. Some storage services use multi-level warehouses, where you have to transport your goods using trolleys, through lifts and corridors to find your unit. This is often found to be impractical, particularly for those wanting regular access to their storage.

Consider whether you require a single or double unit with or without an extra large access door. Do you need your unit to be furnished? Racking is particularly important for those looking for business document storage. Find out if your storage provider offers this service.

Accessible

An advantage of using ground-level business storage is that it is easily accessible.

Affordable

Your storage provider should charge your business the same competitive rates as an individual using the service. It is definitely worth shopping around for your unit as some storage providers offer to beat any nearby storage units prices on a like-for-like basis. Larger chain storage providers tend to be overpriced compared to independent businesses.

Find out about hidden costs to get a real feel for the price. Many business storage units appear affordable but charge for access and receiving parcels, so ask whether this is the case.

Flexible

Extras
