Southend is a city with a growing business landscape. The government and the local council are both working on an initiative which seeks to raise the amount of entrepreneurs and business owners in the area, via opportunities and employing a business navigator.  

When you are starting or running your own business you will quickly find that finding the space to grow can become an issue. This is where business storage comes in. 

Within this article we will be looking at business storage in Southend, what it is and how it can help you and your business. 

Enhanced Space Management

Business storage in Southend could help you to free up valuable office space and allow you to better manage your space. You could do this by storing your inventory or excess seasonal inventory within a storage unit. 

Or you could use document storage which is on offer at many self storage facilities. This will not only free up space but also give you a secure place to store important documents offsite. 

Improved Security for Business Assets

Speaking of secure places, using storage in Southend for your business will give you a storage solution that is safe and secure in which you will be able to store your most important and sensitive business assets and documents. 

All professional storage companies are able to offer you secure storage in Southend due to the high-quality security features they have in place. At Cinch Self Storage Southend we have 24/7 CCTV surveillance around the whole facility and every unit is fitted with an intruder alarm and a smoke and fire detector. You can rest assured that your business assets will be protected from theft and damage. 

Cost-Effective Alternative to Expanding Premises

Using business storage in Southend will also prove to be an extremely cost effective way of finding more space for your business. The other option is to expand your premises which would prove to be much more costly. To rent an office space you are looking at paying anything from £500 a month to over £5,000 per month. Using storage in Southend will allow you to stay in a smaller office space which will keep the month expenditure down. 

Facilitates Organisational Efficiency

One of the biggest benefits of using business storage in Southend is that it will actually increase the productivity of yourself and your team. Clutter is known to hinder productivity as it stops people from being able to focus on particular tasks. A study by psychology professor Sabine Kastner at Princeton University has discovered that a clutter free desk and work environment will lead you to be able to think much more clearly and efficiently. Our brains are not good at blocking out clutter so more clutter will lead to less focus and productivity. 

Also, using a dedicated storage space for your inventory and equipment would make inventory management much easier. You would have the space to organise your inventory in an efficient manner that works for you and all your employees. This too would aid productivity. 

Flexibility to Meet Changing Business Needs

When it comes to your business it will always be evolving and with this you will need business storage that is able to evolve with you. Within many self storage companies you will find that they are happy for you to sign short-term or long-term contracts but what you also need to be on the lookout for is flexible contracts. Flexible contracts allow you to change your storage to suit your ever evolving business needs.

For example, you may need extra storage at certain times of year based on seasonal demand. Christmas is an excellent example of a time period where you have extra demand. With a flexible contract you would be able to add some extra storage to cover you for this seasonal demand and then, once it is over, go back to your regular storage. 

Flexible contracts also allow you to leave your unit before your rental contract has expired. 

At Cinch Self Storage Southend we only offer flexible rental contracts. We will never trap you in a contract for a unit that no longer works for you or that you no longer need. If you do want to leave your unit completely, all we ask is that you give us 14 days notice.
