One of the Key features that we offer here at Blue Box Storage – Doncaster Self-Storage is flexibility, and whether you’re a new starter or a well-established company, there is no denying that flexibility helps remove the stress as you and your business grow. However, how exactly can your business benefit from our Self-Storage solutions? Read our blog to find out how.

Self-Storage is Perfect

That’s a pretty broad statement there, but our units are suitable for a wide range of businesses from small to bigger corporations. They coupled up with our services and we were able to meet a range of different demands and needs. So, whether you need a place for storing surplus stock, or you need a well-located and secure spot, with 24-hour security as a distribution point, a place to hot desk, or a Self-Storage unit just to keep your business records safe – we can help.

A Variety of Services

Our Self-Storage and list of endless services are designed to ensure that our customers get the very best business support as possible. If you need boxes and packing, we’ve got you covered with our Storage Boxes, Need a container? No Problem – To help you move or store items, Blue Box Storage also provides packaging tape, furniture covers, marker pens and bubble wrap.

What’s more interesting is that we collect deliveries on your behalf, so you don’t have to. If you’re out and about running your business, you won’t have time to worry about “Who’s going to collect this.” Our many pallet trucks, trolleys and forklifts ae also at your disposal should you require them.

Easy in and Easy Out – No Questions Asked

Now we hate to see people leave, we like to think about our customers as friends helping them out whenever possible, but we don’t get you to sign a contract, so whenever you feel it’s time to leave you can without the hassle – we just in theory need two weeks’ notice first. Although, if you have a larger industrial Self-Storage container, they do require a little longer notice period. There is no six or longer contracts, so don’t worry you will not be tied down to an agreement that you can’t get out of. You could even rent a Self-Storage unit for just a few weeks or couple of months if needed, the decision is totally up to you.

Easy Access

An important part of renting a self-storage unit is the ease of access. After all, the last thing you need is to rely on opening times to access your stock or tools – if this was the case, you wouldn’t be able to run it properly. At Blue Box, we offer secure storage at each of our facilities, with extended opening hours and 24/7/365 access if you need it. Come and go whenever you want and as often as you need.

We even cover the entirety of the Doncaster and Yorkshire regions such as, Thorne, Mexborough, Balby, Crowle, Goole and Moorends just to name a few. You could say that we’re the Storage Kings of Doncaster… Wink Wink!

Can I upgrade?  

Can you upgrade, well that depends can a Business grow? The Short answer… Yes, you can upgrade. Expanding to bigger units as your business grows is a real benefit of using us as your provider. There’s no penalty if you scale your unit up or down, we understand that businesses can change and evolve over time and we just want to make your time with us as easy and simple as possible.

However, the flexibility can vary to bigger units such as, during peak sale seasons of the year, or to even accommodate the needs of a rapid growth.

How much is it?

Flexibility can also be cost-effective, which is perfect for business owners. Because we have so many different self-storage sizes available to our customers – and because you’ll have a flexible contract with us – you only pay for the space you need.

In addition, we provide unique, tailored storage for businesses without charging business rates, utility bills or security fees; everything is included in the monthly invoice, so there are no surprise fees either.  It’s just the insurance you need to think about and we can help there too. Whether you are looking for storage units in Doncaster or Self-Storage in Cantley, we have everything you could possibly need to help support and grow your business. We are flexible to fit around your time and needs; you can spend more time and energy on running your business and the stress about any unexpected costs and having to relocate if you want to expand or downsize your business.

What do you need to consider?

Did you know, our storage units are a fantastic choice for any business owner, as we offer everything you could possibly want to run your company as smooth as possible. Don’t believe us? You check out our Google Reviews Here to read what other people are saying.

Size of a Self-Storage Unit

Don’t underestimate how important it is to find the right size of a storage unit. Consider what you will want to store inside and if the space is capable of fitting all of your belongings – self-storage units are not cost-effective, so you’ll want to make a list of the items and their sizes before you select your unit. This way, you can more easily get a quote and can be confident that you’ve made the right choice.

However, it’s also important to have some extra space to account for anything you may want to add to the space. Choosing a small storage unit may not be enough to meet all of your business needs and the last thing you want is to have the hassle of emptying it and moving everything to a bigger unit.

Security

At Blue Box Storage Doncaster, we’re aware of just how important it is to be able to either work from your Self-Storage unit or just simply store your belongings without worrying about security. Our Kirk Sandall site includes 24-hour security, access gate control and intruder alarms. We’re confident that these systems can put your mind at ease.
