Now, though, let’s tackle a few of those problems.
Problems with home businesses.
The most common problem home business owners face is one of storage space. There is never enough room to “warehouse” the products they sell, the paperwork they accumulate, or the equipment they need. They are, after all, working out of their home, a place where they eat, where they sleep, and where they entertain guests. And, if they have families, the issue of storage magnified tenfold. Renting storage units is a logical solution to this problem, eliminating the clutter and extras around the home and freeing up valuable space for the money-making business.
Secondly, renting storage units is a cost-effective expansion alternative. The business grows, you run out of rooms in the house, you need to expand the business, but you don’t want to take on the cost of a warehouse for rent or retail space for lease. What do you do? Rent storage spaces, of course, at a much lower cost that renting industrial or commercial space.
One more problem to chew on, and we touched on it earlier. Storage units are the perfect solution for either storing inventory or as the actual workspace for making the product you sell. Small shop space is available at most self storage companies, providing you with a great space to produce while ensuring that your home will remain, essentially, a home. Storage spaces offer easy access, 24/7 access, allowing you to pursue business activities no matter the hour of the day or night.
Rent a storage unit to solve all of these problems.
To rent a storage unit is the most cost-effective solution to all of these problems. Units can be rented for between $50-$100 per month; compare that price to the rental price for commercial or industrial property, and you immediately see the wisdom in taking the self-storage option.
Other storage options you may not have thought of.
Still not convinced that self-storage is the solution? You could purchase one of those pre-fab sheds you see for sale at Lowes or Home Depot. The initial cost will sting a bit, but over time it could be a good investment.
Purchase a used shipping container and make it the workspace you desperately need. Containers come in 8’x20’ and 8’x40’ sizes, more than enough room for a small manufacturing center or a very functional office.
And, if it is an office you need, consider shared office space, oftentimes available in some of the larger cities. You rent only when you need to rent, no long-term commitments and thus no long-term expense.
The final point we want to make is this: there are solutions to your space problems with a home business. You simply need to get creative and think of them.
