If you started your business from home, then chances are that you are most likely still working from home, especially during Covid-19. If this is the case, then your home office has probably completely been taken over by your business (and maybe even a few other parts of your home too!). While most businesses are preparing to go back to the office (and maybe you want to rent an office space), renting a storage unit before you move could make a world of difference to your work life and your transition to working in an office space.

To make it easier on you and your pocket, we recommend hiring a storage unit near you that will allow for a monthly or ‘no-contract period’ rental which means that you can not only cancel the unit when you are ready, but you can easily change to a larger or smaller unit to suit your business needs.

Multi-purpose storage

If your business is taking up most of your home, then your storage unit could serve for a multi-purpose storage space. Why not make the most of your unit by decluttering your home and storing some items, furniture or even out of season clothing that is taking up too much space in your unit? This is particularly useful if you plan on keeping your business at home since the unit can provide a safe storage space near you where you can keep both personal and business-related items safely and securely.

At Rent-A-Store we promise that your belongings will be kept in a high-security environment with a state-of-the-art alarm system at all sites.

Use it to store excess packaging and supplies

Perhaps one of the best ways to use your unit for your business is to keep any excess packaging and business supplies that could be taking up space in our home. Your unit also serves as a safe space to store excess office equipment, older electronics and important documents that could otherwise get damaged in your home - especially if you have little kids running about!

We love recommending storage space for businesses that are in the retail space as a storage unit is the perfect spot to store any large store banners and celebratory merchandise for holidays, sales and other important events that you might have in your store. Items such as banners and window displays can often get torn or broken when not stored correctly and with a storage unit, that will be one less thing to worry about!

Make space for your home office

Use your storage unit to make a proper space for your home office. If you are using a cluttered room in your home (or working from the couch), then getting a unit will not only help to declutter your space, but also enable you to have more space in your home to focus on your business. Store items like excess books, boxes and even smaller items that you hardly use but can’t get rid of. Just packing up 3 or 4 boxes of things to store can make the world of difference and enable you to make space for your home office with ease. Plus, did you know that if you rent a unit with us, you will get free move-in transport as well as ten free boxes with your online rental to make decluttering a breeze.
