Do's and Don'ts for Business Storage

Business Storage Rental Guide

At some point you might face the possibility of a professional business move. It is also quite possible that you will have to wait to have your new accommodations configured to meet your individual needs. This is the time that a rental unit for business storage is an excellent investment. Green Storage has many small business customers and we can help you address this situation. We offer many different unit sizes in many convenient locations to serve you. Let us share with you some tips to make your professional move an easy and organized one.

Security Is Crucial

Your business is your livelihood and your equipment, furniture, supplies as well as your files are the life blood of your enterprise and they need to be stored in a safe and secure accommodation. Site security is something that should be taken into consideration as all facilities do not offer the same standards. Controlled access, video surveillance and adequate lighting is crucial to safe self-storage.
The facilities at Green Storage sites conduct facility walks every day to ensure units and property is safe and securely locked. Our premises have 24/7 recorded video surveillance as well as a full site security system. The facilities are equipped with sprinkler systems and each aisle is equipped with adequate fire extinguishers.

Sensitive Equipment

Many businesses depend on sensitive equipment for day to day operation. These pieces come with a substantial investment and need to be secured in an appropriate environment to protect them. Our sites offer units in a climate-controlled environment to help maintain your valuable assets. It is prudent to visit your unit every few weeks to ensure that everything is in order.

Insurance Is A Good Choice

A prudent step when storing valuable and sensitive equipment and business-related items would be to obtain insurance. You should evaluate the items being stored and the effect that their loss would have on your business. Not all sites offer insurance for business clients, so you should inquire prior to storing your items.

Plan Ahead

Take the time to adequately plan and work with the facility to ensure that the unit is the proper size for your needs. Green Storage has 20+ different sized units, from 10 sq. feet to 250 sq. feet, to facilitate your every need. Work with our friendly and qualified staff to make the transition into storage and out of storage an easy and productive time. We even offer truck rentals and moving supplies. As our commitment approach is to safe and green storage practices, we have electric vehicle charging stations at our facility sites.
