What can you keep in a business storage unit?

Finding space for all your business’s goods can be a tricky task. If you’re not buried under stock and filing cabinets then you’re drowning in excess equipment and seasonal decorations. And the less said about that missing inventory list from last year, the better. Fortunately, help is at hand: our business storage in Basingstoke and Bournemouth offers the ideal solution for all your business storage needs.

But what exactly can and can’t you keep in business self-storage? It’s an excellent question, so let’s find out…

What you CAN store in business self-storage?

1. Excess inventory and stock

Have you been hoarding a stash of fidget spinners since 2017? Or did you go overboard this Christmas and buy enough festive jumpers to dress a small army? Whatever your excess inventory or stock may be, our business stock storage is the perfect place to keep it out of the way until the world realises it’s time for fidget spinners to make a comeback.

2. Documents and records

Transform your office from a cluttered nightmare into a tranquil haven by storing all your paperwork with our document archive storage. We have the latest smoke and fire detection systems to keep everything safe, ensuring it will still be there waiting for you when you return.

3. Tools and equipment

As interesting as it may be trying to operate your business when half your office is taken up with specialist equipment, it turns out there’s another way. Whether your tools and equipment are big, small, noisy, or delicate, they can all be securely locked up within our business storage units. Plus, with access seven days a week, you can remove them again whenever required.

4. Furniture and retail fixtures

Revamping a retail space? Or simply have more chairs and tables than you have people? Our business storage in Bournemouth and Basingstoke offers a refuge for all your furniture and fixtures.

5. Seasonal decorations

As much as we may wish for a second Christmas in July, sadly the world is against us. Store your seasonal decorations in a business storage unit and keep your workspace season-appropriate.

6. Marketing materials

Banners, temporary stands, signage – your marketing materials are safe with us. Think of our business self-storage as your personal backstage area ready to support you between events.

What you CAN’T store in business self-storage

1. Live plants and animals

Sorry, no jungles or petting zoos at MORE! Storage. Our units may be great, but they’re just not set up for another remake of Jumanji.

2. Perishable food and goods

We all love snacks, but leaving perishable goods in storage has a tendency to go badly wrong after a while. It’ll be a nasty surprise for you to come back to and we’re not sure we want to deal with any creeping odours while we wait for you.

3. Hazardous, explosive, or toxic goods

We hope this one is obvious, but just to be clear: no fireworks, nothing radioactive, and nothing that goes ‘boom’.
