Moving to a new area, starting a business, or doing large home renovations are all exciting life events, but they are also stressful. They all also lead you to needing a safe space to store your belongings or business assets. Our storage will be an excellent solution. 

Within this article, we will look at the benefits of using long term storage and how it will help you.

Business Storage To Support Your Business

For businesses in and around Exeter, our storage will offer you a place to store your stock, equipment and business documents but it will also give you the space you need for your business to really thrive. Within this section, we will look at how our storage will help your business. 

Inventory And Stock Management

For e-commerce retailers, wholesalers, and small manufacturers, managing inventory is a constant challenge. Space in commercial premises is expensive and often inflexible. Using our storage for long-term inventory storage will allow your business to react flexibly to market demands without being locked into extremely expensive warehouse leases. A small business can upsize their unit to meet seasonal demands, like at Christmas. This has been extremely beneficial for Florence Ledwith, owner and founder of Envy Shoes:

“The flexibility is massive for us. Say it got to Christmas and we’d totally run out of space, I could take on something else for just a short period of time. You don’t get that anywhere else. Other units I looked at had five or ten year leases and I knew I couldn’t sign up for that. We’ll need something much bigger in ten years! So, the flexibility was the main draw for choosing here.”

The ability to store your stock long term means your business can take advantage of bulk-buying which can offer discounts. This will help to improve your profit margins. The clean and secure environment of our storage also ensures that valuable inventory remains in pristine condition and protected from theft. 

Document And Record Archiving

There are many business documents that you are required to keep for several years. Instead of cluttering up your office with these documents, you could safely store them within our storage. All of our units are equipped with an alarm and smoke and fire detectors. There is 24/7 CCTV surveillance around the entire Exeter facility. 

Organising an archive system within a dedicated storage unit will make your life easier when you need to find a certain document. 

Equipment And Tool Storage

From trade professionals like builders and landscapers to large event management companies, many businesses rely on expensive, bulky equipment that is not in use year-round. Storing this equipment in our storage will provide you with a secure space, ready for when you next need them. 

A dedicated storage unit will also allow your business to create a central business hub for your business. This will give you somewhere for your team to meet to discuss the day’s work and to pick up equipment and tools. This will make your life as the boss much easier. 

Supporting Home Renovations

Whether you are doing some simple painting or renovating your entire home, you will need to find somewhere to store your belongings so they are safe from the dust, debris and paint. Within this section, we will look at how our storage will help. 

Protecting Your Valuables During Building Work

The dust and debris that comes from large renovations will cause major damage to your belongings if you keep them in your home. Moving your belongings into one of our storage units will ensure that your belongings are protected throughout your renovations. 

Using long-term storage during a renovation will also allow your builders and tradespeople easier access to the areas they are working in. They won’t need to work around anything or worry about causing any damage to your belongings. This will help them to work more efficiently, possibly leading to your renovations being completed quicker than expected. 

Temporary Downsizing

If you are renovating your entire home, you may need to move into temporary accommodation which will likely be smaller than your home. Our storage will be essential as you need somewhere to store all your belongings that don’t fit into your temporary home. 

Helping International Moves and Extended Travel 

The decision to move abroad for an extended period, whether for work or a sabbatical, is a big decision. And it comes with the same issue – what to do with all of your belongings? It would be expensive to ship everything over to your new home, particularly if this is not a permanent relocation. Within this section, we will look at how our storage will help. 

A Secure Home For Your Sentimental Belongings 

For many people, their belongings hold immense sentimental value – family photo albums, inherited furniture, cherished collections. These items cannot be easily replaced and should not be discarded simply because of an overseas move. Our storage will provide you with a safe place to store all of your belongings. 

Space For Furniture And Household Goods

Renting out your UK home while living abroad is a common strategy when people move abroad. It will help you make some money whilst you are away which can really come in handy, particularly if you are travelling or on an unpaid sabbatical.  

But, you will need to figure out what to do with all of your personal belongings. No tenant wants to live surrounded by someone else’s personal belongings. Plus, you want to know everything is safe. Our storage will provide you with a safe space in which to store all of your belongings. 

Our long term contracts are also completely flexible so if your plans change at any time, you will not need to worry about our storage.
