Self-storage can be a game-changer for businesses. Many businesses across different industries rely on secure and efficient storage to support their operations. Whether you're expanding, downsizing, or simply running out of room, choosing the right facility ensures your items are secure, accessible, and in the right place. Careful consideration of business storage solutions is essential for meeting unique business needs. But what should you look for when picking a storage provider?
For most businesses, storage isn’t just about space, it’s about peace of mind. Whether you’re storing expensive equipment, confidential files or stock, strong security should be top of the list.
These features enhance security for all stored items and sensitive business assets, ensuring comprehensive protection. Your business data, stock, and assets are valuable, don’t settle for anything less than proper protection.
When it comes to storage, location matters. A nearby facility means less time travelling, which helps save time and allows for frequent access to stored items, so you can spend more time focused on running your business.
The Place has storage sites across the South-East, with more opening soon, so chances are there’s one near you.
Businesses don’t always run 9-5. You need access when it works for you, and a layout that helps you get in, get what you need, and get going.
That’s why The Place is designed around convenience. Our storage facility is specifically designed to ensure the safety and accessibility of your stored items, so you can have peace of mind knowing your belongings are protected and easy to reach.
At The Place, access hours vary per location, but our flexible hours enable you to access storage on your schedule. For example, at our Alton facility, storage access hours open from as early as 6am to as late as 10pm.
Our facilities offer free on-site parking, trolleys for easy transport of goods, lifts for upper-floor access, and a dedicated loading bay to make the process of moving items in and out as smooth as possible. These features help ensure a smooth transition during business relocations or renovations, making the process seamless and hassle-free.
Your business won’t stay the same size forever, so your storage solution shouldn’t either. As you scale up, launch new products or even when downsizing, it helps to have flexible options.
At The Place, we have unit sizes between 16-200 sq ft, take a look at our storage unit size guide to find out how much space you need. You can manage your storage unit through your customer login or by visiting us in-store, and easily change the size of your space as your needs evolve.
