No matter what type of business you run, you've most likely had the common daydream about how far a little extra space would go for your day-to-day operations. Whether you run a small boutique shop or a large-scale industrial warehouse, nearly every type of company could easily make use of additional square footage. And while the day might eventually come that you have to move into a larger facility, a simpler and more convenient option is renting a commercial storage unit.
Foster Van Lines is a reputable moving and storage company in the Richmond area that provides one of the widest varieties of solutions when it comes to commercial storage. We've assisted business owners across a range of industries with their storage needs, and have seen them benefit from our services for a variety of reasons.
Storage is a Cost-Effective Solution
When you need more room for office furniture, warehouse equipment, electronics or related goods, renting additional office space or moving into a larger facility may provide you with the storage you need, but not at a friendly price. Renting a commercial storage unit is a much more cost-effective option.
Most facilities have flexible rental agreements, so if your storage needs tend to fluctuate, a storage company can usually work with you to provide either short- or long-term leases, making this an affordable way to buy yourself a bit more breathing room—literally.
Less Clutter Leads to More Organized Operations
When you move all your seasonal items, appliances and inventory into a separate storage unit, you're freeing up more space in your commercial facility for more important functions, whether it's space for your customers, employees, operations, or something else.
Additionally, some studies have shown that less cluttered spaces lead to improved moods and productivity and reduced stress levels. So even if you aren't turning your recently freed-up space into a new break room, an organized and clean space is still very beneficial for your employees.
Storage Facilities Provide Great Inventory Solutions
Most storage facilities will have an inventory management system that will help them keep track of each and every item you store at that location. This isn't just beneficial for knowing what's in your storage unit—it could also improve the general management of your own inventory.
It can be hard to keep track of every single item within a commercial property, or even to just keep tabs on your goods! Did you or an employee forget to make note of a defective product, leading your numbers to be slightly off? Working with a storage facility can greatly cut down on these types of errors and improve your commercial inventory management.
Items May Be More Secure with a Storage Provider
You may have excellent security measures in place at your commercial property, but the main priority of a storage company is the safety of your belongings, making it one of the most secure methods of storing any type of valuable item. Because storage facilities have endless valuables from multiple customers within their walls, they typically have a variety of safety measures in place, potentially even ones you hadn't thought of, such as:
- Anti-Theft & Anti-Fire Protection
- Regular Warehouse Inspections
- Camera Surveillance
- Climate-Controlled Storage Units
- Airtight Storage Units
When you work with Foster Van Lines for your commercial storage, our movers can come directly to your address to pick up, load and transport your items on your behalf. Once at our facilities, we can pad-wrap furniture or vault valuables so that you can rest assured that your items are as safe as possible. You'll even get to choose from options like open-rack shelving or vaulted ceilings so that no matter what type of items you need to store, we can easily accommodate them.
