Is your office space bursting at the seams with files, extra inventory, and unused furniture? If this sounds familiar, your business could benefit from a self-storage unit. In fact, moving extra items from the office to a storage space can do more than just create extra room, and benefit your business in some unexpected ways.

How Self-Storage Can Help Your Business

1. Increase Productivity

Studies have revealed that excess clutter actually increases people’s tendency to procrastinate. A cluttered and messy office environment is overwhelming and leads to wasted time that could be spent on more important business activities. Moving extra items into commercial storage can improve organization, and by extension, productivity. 

2. Improve Compliance

In many industries, companies are required to maintain paper copies of files for a certain amount of time. However, all this paper can add up quickly, and soon, it might feel like every square-foot of space is devoted to filing cabinets. By moving older documents and files to a commercial storage unit, you not only ensure compliance with safety and fire regulations, but you also improve the security of sensitive information. When only authorized personnel can access the storage unit, it’s less likely to fall into the wrong hands.

3. Support Sales

If your business sells physical products and you have to store them on-site, you’re constantly walking the line between maintaining enough inventory and disappointing customers by running out of popular items because you don’t have the room to store them. With a self-storage unit, you can maintain adequate inventory levels to keep customers happy and prevent delayed or canceled orders.
