Storage space for your side business: grow flexibly without running out of room
Is your side business growing faster than the free space in your home? Inventory in the garage, materials in the hallway and shipping boxes in the living room: anyone who runs a business alongside a regular job quickly runs out of room.
A storage unit for your side business at Storo keeps work and private life separate, without having to rent expensive business premises right away. You keep your belongings clean, dry and secure, and you only rent the m² you need. That way, you can rent flexible storage space that grows with your business.
In this article, you will discover how to organize storage for your side business smartly and affordably.
Why rent storage space for your side business?
As a self-employed person with a side business, you want to run your business flexibly with limited fixed costs. A Storo unit offers the ideal foundation for that:
Separate work and private life without expensive business premises
Renting your own warehouse or workshop is often too much for a side business. With a storage unit from 1 m², you get your inventory and materials out of your home and restore peace and quiet at home, at a fraction of the cost.
Grow flexibly, month by month
You don’t know yet how fast your business will grow? At Storo, you rent per month and can switch to a larger or smaller unit at any time. That way, you never pay for space you don’t use.
Clean, dry and climate-controlled
Our units are heated and ventilated. Clothing, stationery, electronics or craft materials stay protected from moisture and dust, so you always deliver flawless products to your customers.
Which side businesses benefit from external storage?
Storage for your side business suits a wide range of activities:
Webshop or online sales
Do you sell through your own webshop, a marketplace or social media? Keep your stock organized and pack your parcels without turning your living room into a parcel center. Discover our tips on webshop storage.
Crafts, DIY or creative projects
Tools, raw materials, art supplies or finished pieces quickly take up a lot of space. In a dry Storo unit, they stay in perfect condition until your next job.
Markets, fairs and seasonal sales
You only use market stalls, displays, decorations and seasonal stock for part of the year. Store them safely between two events and load them easily via our loading and unloading zones.
Practical and business-ready at Storo
As a self-employed person with a side business, you want everything to run correctly and smoothly. Thanks to our digital self-storage, it does!
Clear monthly invoices
You book entirely online and receive your invoices digitally. That way, you have them at hand right away for your bookkeeping. Check with your accountant whether the rent for your storage unit qualifies as a business expense.
Share access with a helper
Do you get help from your partner or an employee? Through the Storo app, you can easily pass on access rights, without having to copy physical keys.
Stored securely
Our locations are equipped with camera surveillance, alarm security and access control. Your inventory is safer there than in a garage or shed.
