Renting a warehouse: Flexible spaces for flexible businesses

---

If you are a business owner, the chances are you will need storage. From restaurants to clothing stores, from lawyers offices to online retailers, everyone is in the market for space. This means decisions you make about your storage solutions are impactful to your business model as a whole, especially in a city like New York, where storage room is at a premium. Making the right call about how and where you store your goods is often a business decision that is underestimated in its importance. If you are a small or medium business, of any description, the chances are you will not own storage space. In New York, which contains the most expensive real estate on the planet, renting space and outsourcing it to third-party specialists is the norm. One quick glance at a Google for “New York Storage” is all the proof you need of this. If you are a small business, this can be overwhelming and there is the tendency to think keep the classic mindset of keeping all you need in your store’s stockroom. But this overlooks the benefits of branching out and sizing up.

What benefits are there to more storage space?

Renting warehouse space can seem like something unnecessary to small business owners who see their primary role as being a community or family orientated store. However, it is not just Amazon that needs warehouse space. Extra industrial storage can bring many benefits for smaller businesses. Most obviously, renting warehouse space is often much cheaper than renting retail space, especially in New York. This means you can improve the storage capacity of your business without having to relocate to larger, significantly more expensive retail premises. This extra space can be used for many different purposes. It can be used to store seasonal or temporarily unused stock or furniture. This can be important for clothing stores who may have summer and winter lines or restaurants, who may need somewhere to put their terrace furniture when New York’s icy winters begin to set in.

More storage room can also mean that you can place larger orders for stock or materials at one time. This may save you money in the long run, as well as insuring you against problems with supply chain disruptions, which can be so devastating for small businesses.

Most importantly though, more space can equal more growth. It can allow you the freedom to experiment with wider ranges of stock for an online audience without having to crowd your store with unsightly boxes, meant for customers in different states or countries. With the possibilities for money saving and money making that warehouse storage allows, there only remains to navigate the confusing world of New York storage before you can reap the benefits. That’s where BOXIE24 can help!
