A more flexible alternative to traditional rental space
Renting traditional commercial or storage space can be a major decision for a small business. Space needs can vary with seasons, orders, and business growth, making it hard to estimate the right size in advance. Long contract notice periods can also be a challenge, especially for new entrepreneurs.
Thanks to our flexible terms, your business can choose a space that fits its current needs and change it as those needs evolve. In a storage unit, your products, tools, materials, and other supplies stay together in one place and well organized.
Who is storage space suitable for?
Different businesses have different storage needs. Storage space can be a good fit for, for example:
Online shops – for storing products, packaging materials, and returns
Craftspeople – for storing tools and materials
Installers and service companies – for storing spare parts and tools
Consultants and event organizers – for storing archives and trade show materials
Creative entrepreneurs – for storing materials and finished products
Small businesses – for storing seasonal items and extra furniture
Storage space can be a practical solution for a business that needs extra storage but doesn’t need a separate, large commercial property.
Keep your business belongings in one place
When products, tools, and materials are scattered across your home, car, and various locations, managing them can waste valuable time.
A storage unit lets you gather your business belongings in one place. Shelves, clearly labeled boxes, and a functional layout make it easier to find what you need.
Place the products and materials you use most often within easy reach, so your visits to the storage unit go quickly.
Start with the space you need
A startup’s space needs are often different from those of an established business. That’s why it’s worth considering both your current needs and potential future changes when choosing a storage unit.
At Pelican, you’ll find storage units in a range of sizes. As your business’s needs change, our staff are happy to help you explore options for a larger or smaller space.
A practical part of daily operations
Storage space can make running your business easier by keeping goods and materials easily accessible in one place. It’s ideal for storing online shop products, tools, spare parts, and seasonal supplies.
At most locations, our staff can receive shipments on your behalf or hand off outgoing parcels to couriers, so you don’t have to be on-site and can focus on other tasks.
Choose the right storage space for your business
Before choosing a storage space, it’s worth considering:
What products, materials, or tools do you want to store?
How much space do your belongings need?
How often will you visit the storage unit?
Do you need easy access directly from your car?
Do you need shelving or an aisle for access?
What services would make running your business easier?
Pelican’s staff are happy to help you find the right storage space for your business’s needs.
Give your business room to grow
As your business grows, your space needs may change too. Our flexible contracts make it easy to change your storage size as circumstances change. A Pelican storage unit helps keep your products, materials, and tools organized without unnecessary extra space.
At Pelican, you’ll find a range of storage solutions for your business’s needs – whether you’re just starting out or already growing your business.
