Self Storage and Savings for Your Company

When a company needs to move an office to a new location or, even better, open another office in a new city, it is usually a good sign. It often means that the business is progressing and growing. But just because things are going well does not necessarily mean that your company has tons of money that it can throw away on new office furniture. Unfortunately, though, it can be difficult to save money on office furniture. That is, unless if you use self storage for your move.
When not using self storage, the process that most companies use to open a new office or move an existing one can be pretty wasteful. Because many companies are not aware of how much they can save with self storage, they decide to sell their old office furniture and buy new furniture for the new office. And while this may seem simpler than self storage, the truth is that it is not. Because it is also very expensive.
How, though, does self storage save a company money when they move to a new office? Pretty simply: it helps you avoid losing money when reselling your furniture. When you move from one office to another, the price you will receive from both furniture companies and individual buyers on your used office furniture will be just a fraction of its worth. Even if it has not seen much use, and is (for all intents and purposes) new, you will lose a large amount of money when you try to resell it.
But self storage can really cut down costs For example, to purchase four new cube units for an office can cost you anywhere from $2,500 to upwards of $10,000. However, if you choose to use self storage for your existing furniture, you will be able to use your existing office furniture. All you need to do is have somebody load your office furniture, etc., into your self storage unit. When your company is ready to move into its new space, the self storage unit will be delivered, allowing you to easily unload and use your old furniture and equipment.
Saving money with self storage also applies when opening up a new branch office. In many offices, up to 30% of the office furniture goes unused. Rather than simply purchasing all you need for a new office, you can save money by collecting your current unused furniture and placing it in self storage. Then, when the new office is ready, you will have to buy only what you need... and because self storage is so inexpensive, you can save plenty of money on unneeded office furniture.
