Small Business Storage North Vancouver – Where do you Store Your Stock?

It’s 2022 and many businesses are back in full swing. We at North Shore Mini Storage know that as a business grows so does its need for storage. Our central location makes us the perfect partner for businesses in North Vancouver.

How Self Storage can help Small Businesses in North Vancouver

So you have started a business in North Vancouver? And you’re selling your goods on the internet. Fantastic, things are going well, but the house is starting to fill up with stock.

It’s taking over the spare room, the garage and anywhere else where there is space. The rest of the family is starting to wonder whether there will be any room for them soon!

What do you do? You are a victim of your own success, it sounds like it time to look for premises. But then you don’t want to sign up to long leases on buildings, and what if it grows even faster, or even goes the other way? You don’t want those sorts of commitments.

Small Business Storage, North Vancouver

Why not consider self storage. This ticks a number of boxes for small expanding businesses. Particularly online businesses. Really what you need is space to store your stock. You can rent a storage room of pretty much any size, so you are only renting as much space as you require. When it gets busier, for example Christmas, you will be able to rent additional space for this period. But when it gets to January, you will be able to vacate it, thereby reducing your costs.

Some storage companies will have a reception that will accept deliveries on our behalf, and even manage pick-ups from couriers. This is a massive benefit for an internet entrepreneur as it frees you up to do other things, whether this is your main job or expand the business further.

I have seen numerous eCommerce business operations run very successfully from self storage, these include a company selling golf balls over the internet, as well as a gift company. They all had one thing in common, they required cost-effective flexible business storage space.

With the added bonus of a manned reception and a few other services, this could be the right solution for an expanding eBay or eCommerce business. Eventually you may progress to a larger commercial property, but this could certainly be the stepping stone to get there!

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
