Storage Solutions for Home-Based Businesses

If you run a small business, but don’t necessarily need a retail store front or office, working from home makes a lot of sense. But, does your home offer the space you need? With documents, equipment, materials, inventory, and more, it is not uncommon to run out of room quickly.

Reclaim the Space in Your Garage

Is your garage overflowing? Does your vehicle sit outside in the weather because you’ve run out of room? It’s time to clean out and declutter … and perhaps find alternative storage that makes sense! You likely have things you can toss, donate or sell in there among items that are only used occasionally, and could easily be stored elsewhere.

Boat and RV Storage

Keep your off-season vehicles secure until you’re ready to use them. It’s like having your own premium, reserved parking spot. Commonly stored outdoor items include:

• Boats
• RVs (trailers and motor homes)
• ATVs and snowmobiles

Getting ready to move?

Once you’ve decided that it’s time to sell your current house, what do you do first? Start packing! Well, sort of. Start the process in order to declutter and depersonalize your home, give the appearance of more space, and make your transition as smooth and stress-free as possible. Plus, if you start sorting, packing and storing now, then you will be in a really good position to move quickly when your house is sold.

Keep or Shred

If your business is like most, you have tons of paper stored away in filing cabinets and boxes, stashed in desk drawers and maybe even stacked on your desk. What do you REALLY need to keep, and for how long? It’s time to lose that (paper) weight. Here’s a simple guide to help your business determine which documents can be moved into storage and which can be sent to the shredder.
