Storage Solutions for small business
Your small business can reap great benefits by using a self-storage facility. Instead of storing your old stock or even office records where they will be getting in the way, use a storage facility where you will retain access but gain valuable space at your shop or office.
Even when starting out with a new small business, the decision on if to use a self-storage facility should be seriously considered. Here are the best reasons why using a self-storage facility is beneficial towards small business proprietors: |
|
|
Convenience
For local businesses, a storage facility is convenient for small business owners, as it can save a lot of time and money. There is no need to use your own space, either in your office, shop or even home.
Cost
Payment terms can be set up monthly. This means that you do not have to worry about bulky yearly expenses.
Discounts may be available depending on your intended usage.
|
|
You will be able to save a lot of money whether it is short-term or long-term making it more cost-effective than needing extra room in your business location. By storing bulky items inside a storage unit, the space you saved in your place of business can be used to generate more income.
Security
Small business owners do not need to worry about setting up expensive security systems over store rooms at their business with a self-storage facility. We have it all taken care of. We can assure you that any valuable stocks, documents and other items are stored in a safe place.
Flexibility
By renting space in a self-storage facility, it gives a business the flexibility to expand or reduce the space they use as needed. |

Choosing a storage company in Cornwall
There are two main types of domestic storage—containerised storage, where your property is placed in boxes made of timber or steel, and selflf-storage, where you rent a bare room in a warehouse and can have access to your possessions;
If you will need access to your possessions, choose a storage company whose warehouse is not too far away from your home.
Prices between storage companies can vary considerably, so arrange to receive more than one quote.
If you are not sure how much space you need, the storage company should be able to advise you on this.
Visit the storage company's warehouse yourself to ensure you are satisfied with the security and access it offers;
If you are opting for self-storage, find out when you will be able to access your storage area and whether there are charges for this.
If you choose containerised storage, ensure that an inventory of your goods is drawn up and signed by the storage company.

How to select a storage operator in Cornwall
Industry insight from the experts.
Reputation
To guarantee the storage company you pick are trustworthy, ask if they are members of the UK Self Storage Association.
The Association lays down strict operating guidelines and you can rest assured that any member will have all the necessary safety, security and fire prevention measures in place.
No hidden extras
Make sure your storage company do not charge for any hidden extras such as registration fees or release fees.
Check the small print
It may be wise to shop around your local storage operators but make sure you check whether prices include VAT and be careful not to compare rates per calendar month with those for four week periods because the latter covers fewer days.
Check access rights
Make sure you are not penalised for accessing your own goods. Choose a company that offers unrestricted 24/7 access to be on the safe side.
Notice period
Make sure you are not tied in to any long term contract.
Special offers
Ask the operator whether they have any special offers on at present. Typical offers include a discount off your 1st month's storage.
Site visit
Why not ask to have a look around first before you choose. Check the security measures in place, ask to see a range of unit sizes and generally check that you are happy for your prized possessions to be stored at that centre.

Cornwall Self Storage Specialists give some great tips to consider when choosing the right storage solution for you.
Make a list of everything you intend to store. Note which items can be taken apart for easier transport and reduced storage costs.
Keep all your essential items (keys, mobile, wallet, and medication) in easy to find places.
Start packing any non-essential items such as extra clothes, paintings and ornaments early. Lofts and garages are good places to find items to get started on.
Don't wrap precious items in newspaper as the print can rub off.
Stacked plates can be heavy and the bottom ones can break; instead, wrap them in paper and pack them on their ends. Glass panes (including pictures and mirrors) should be stacked upright.
Label all boxes clearly with the contents and room they belong in to help when retrieving goods from your unit and unpacking.
Avoid unpleasant retrievals by cleaning your garden equipment before you store it, and drain petrol where relevant to make sure things start properly.
Store large and heavy items at the bottom.
Use the space in chests of drawers and wardrobes to store boxes and paper work, reducing storage costs.
If you are going to need access to certain items throughout your storage period, keep them near the door.
Protect furniture with dust sheets and wrap table and chair legs to avoid scratching.
Remove batteries from electrical items.
Store heavy items in smaller boxes to make for easy lifting. Store china and breakables in stronger cardboard and plastic boxes packed with bubble wrap or tissue paper.
Make sure that fridges and freezers are fully defrosted to prevent water damage and where possible leave the doors open to allow ventilation.
Clean all garden furniture before storing and make sure that your lawnmower is drained of petrol.

Caravan Tourer Storage Tips.
So the summer touring done and its time to say goodnight
to your friend for the duration. Storing your van
correctly is a must especially in our harsh winter
conditions, do it right and your Easter start-up will
be fine, Get it wrong and you are in for a torrid
start to what should be a perfect start to the years
touring. Hopefully I can give you some hints and tips
that will prevent New Year disasters.
1.Drainage: ALL ONBOARD PIPES AND WATER SYSTEMS SHOULD
BE DRAINED COMPLTLEY OF WATER the only alternative
to this rule is when your caravan dealer and/or heating
appliance manufacturer advises against it. I have
always drained and left the plugs out during winter
(please remember where you stored them)
2.Wheels: It's a good idea to place your van on axle
stands, thus removing the weight from the suspension
and giving it a rest so to speak, but more important,
it takes the weight off the road tyres there fore
alleviating the flat spot, wall damage and possible
tyre renewal in the new year Just do a check with
your insurance company both van and household to ensure
you are covered DON'T LEAVE THE VAN ON THE CORNER
STANDS
3.Interior: It's a good idea to remove bedding etc
during the winter months, and remember the seating
and upholstery need air in order to stop them getting
damp and musty, Its also advisable to keep the fridge
door ajar for the same reason, a good idea on a fine
fresh day is to open the van and stand the upholstery
on end, leaving the door ajar for a couple of hours,
this way you can check for any damp spots at the same
time. Curtains leave them open , It helps to air the
van, don't worry about fading as this should not be
a problem
4.Electrics: It's of no use just disconnecting the
wiring relay and letting it hang there during the
winter months, you're asking for trouble. Simply spray
the unit in a good preservative and then seal with
a plastic bag by wrapping or tying the end, this should
stop any rust forming and short circuits, but do give
it another spray and check the contacts on a free
day.
5.Coverage: My own experiences have taught me NOT
TO COVER MY VAN in order to try and keep the weather
out. Condensation and mould growth became abundant
and the scratches were beyond belief. My best storage
area was a farmer's huge lofty barn. But always remember
to use a security device remembering the poor farmer
may need to move your van in an emergency, so check
with him before you fit them and take the keys to
any locks away with you.
Winter Security: Lock the coupling head into a cover
with a hitch lock if possible, if your van is not
on stands for the winter consider using lock nuts
on the caravan wheels. If you can, use wheel clamps
- everyone knows how well they can keep a vehicle
stationary!
Gas cylinders are always an inviting target to a
thief.
Padlock them to the fixing bracket on older caravans
so they can't be removed,
and keep gas compartments locked on newer models.
Fit an alarm. You can get one from any DIY store.
Fit a time switch. If you're out after dark, lights
on in your caravan will make it look occupied and
can deter opportunist thieves.
Remember: your caravan is even more vulnerable when
not in use or at home. Caravans left on sites even
over winter, for example, are targets for thieves.
If you are choosing a storage site don't just look
at the price. Check to see that it offers good security.
If you are a member of the Caravan Club, your touring
caravan will automatically be logged on the club's
security register. This enables the club to liaise
with the police and dealers rapidly should a theft
occur. It also helps to authenticate ownership if
your caravan is stolen then recovered.
