Magenta’s Business Storage Solutions – Tailored Options for Entrepreneurs and Enterprise

Despite the economic hurdles encountered by the UK of late, it’s clear that the entrepreneurial landscape is flourishing. Throughout the first half of 2023, an impressive 101 new businesses were launched every hour across the UK — reflecting a noteworthy 9% surge compared to the same period in 2022, when 402,000 businesses were established.

London takes the lead when it comes to the density of new businesses established per 100,000 people, boasting an impressive count of 1,768 new companies.

Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic has left many of us accustomed to working from home — but if you are running a business from there (or anywhere else), it could only be a matter of time before you start needing to look for offsite places to store corporate items.

Understanding Business Storage Needs

You might initially run your company from home — but as your business grows and starts taking on more and more work, you could need to recruit some more staff who would be able to help you with it all.

With extra staff can come the need for extra equipment and supplies, too. However, while certain devices — like laptops and printers — might need to be used regularly enough for them to be kept in the workplace, the same can’t always be said for, say, stock or paper.

These are examples of items you can leave in storage until they are required. We have self-storage units in various South of England areas, including London, Reading, Oxford and St Albans — and any of these business storage solutions can be rented on a one-off or long-term basis.

Features of Magenta’s Business Storage Solutions

There are few limits to what you can keep in Magenta-owned storage units. Just make sure you don’t use them for storing anything hazardous, flammable, perishable or anything that has been obtained illegally.

For any items not mentioned in that list, feel free to store them with us, enabling you to enjoy the benefits of our business storage solutions:

A padlock for the storage room: This padlock will be included in the rental charge, meaning you won’t have to pay anything extra for it.
Free, 24/7 access: You just never know when you might need to retrieve something you have chosen to keep in a Magenta-owned self-storage unit.
Flexibility: Your corporate storage needs may fluctuate over time, but we would be happy to help you seamlessly transition between different sizes of storage units available for rent.

Tailored Solutions for Different Business Types

Why exactly you need corporate storage can very much depend on the type of company you are running. Here is how storage requirements can differ between sectors:

Retail: At times, a shop may accumulate an excess of inventory that cannot be stored entirely onsite, or they may have products that are only sold during specific seasons, such as Christmas and Easter.
E-commerce: An online store without any physical outlets for storing inventory can decide to leave it with a specialist self-storage provider like Magenta.
Trades: Examples of such businesses include plumbing and carpentry, which rely not only on large equipment like ladders but also on smaller supplies such as screws and nails.

Whatever your commercial storage requirements, just specify them to us at the enquiry stage so that we can prepare a tailored storage solution to suit.

Benefits of Offsite Storage for Businesses

It’s important to note that different types of companies can share common storage needs. For instance, you may want to explore business storage solutions if you are:

Growing the business more quickly than you had expected: As you prepare to move your company out of your home and into a dedicated office, you can leave surplus items with us.
Relocating the company: We have already mentioned one example of such a move, but there could be many others if the company continues to outgrow its premises.
Amassing a lot of paperwork: Many of these needs could involve sensitive documents or long-term client records that require secure storage at an external site.

Security and Peace of Mind

All of our storage facilities are monitored via CCTV on a 24/7 basis. With these facilities, we also enforce PIN access control so that only the right people can get into any of the storage units. On top of this, we can keep your belongings insured while they are with us.
