Self Storage For Your Business

It’s no secret that self storage and business go hand in hand, having extra storage for a business can help control costs, efficiency and comply better with government regulations. If you are a local North Vancouver business, you need to consider renting a storage unit, you will be thankful you did and here’s why.

Why Self Storage Is Good For Business

Control Costs

If you are a business that needs to have physical inventory on hand then space will always be an issue. You can rent your own warehouse to store inventory inside, which will cost thousands each month, or you can increase the space of your retail/working facility. By choosing self storage you are able to downsize your current facility, while increasing your storage space. A storage unit will give you a dedicated space for inventory storage which you can access whenever you need it.

Comply With Regulations

Most governments, especially the Canadian government requires businesses to hold onto records for at least 7 years. As a business, that is a ton of paperwork, receipts, employee records etc. If you haven’t digitized these things, yet they can quickly build up. It’s not uncommon for a business to have boxes and boxes of documents. These records take up valuable working space in your business which could be better used. By renting a storage unit, you are able to keep these documents safe and out of sight.

Security

Having a public retail location is great, but it’s not the safest when it comes to storing inventory and records. These locations are prone to break in’s and robberies. Having your inventory taken could spell the end of your business or a sharp rise in insurance premiums. Choosing self storage not only protects your goods better than a retail location, you have a separate storage insurance, so even if something happens, it is separate from your business dealings.
