There's an interesting point that many growing businesses eventually reach.

The business is doing well, but the building suddenly feels smaller.

Furniture starts accumulating.

Supplies take over a corner.

Things that aren't needed every day somehow end up occupying some of the most useful space in the building.

Eventually someone says:

"We're running out of room."

The natural reaction is to start looking for more commercial space.

But before signing another lease, there's a simpler question worth asking.

Are you actually out of workspace, or are you out of storage space?

Those aren't necessarily the same problem.

We see businesses using units at Pack Away Storage to keep furniture and other belongings that they want to hold onto but don't necessarily need sitting inside their primary location every day.

Moving those items somewhere else can suddenly make an office, shop, or other business location feel considerably larger.

It also gives business owners another option before committing to the expense of additional commercial space.

A warehouse or larger commercial building can make sense when a company truly needs it. But if you only need some extra square footage for things you're not constantly using, paying for an entirely separate business location may be more than you need.

That's where self storage can fill an interesting gap.

You get additional space without turning your primary workplace into a warehouse.

And because Pack Away Storage offers 24-hour access, your belongings aren't locked behind somebody else's business hours.

We've seen business customers accessing their units early in the morning, later in the evening, and on weekends. That doesn't surprise us.

Business owners work when the work needs to get done.

We also know cost matters. Keeping our rates competitive is important because the whole point of getting additional space is to help the business, not unnecessarily add to its overhead.

Sometimes growing a business means getting a bigger building.

Other times, it simply means using the building you already have a little better.

Before adding more rent, more overhead, and more square footage, take a look around.

You might not need a bigger business location yet.

You might just need somewhere else to put the furniture.
