Are you starting a home-based business? Do you already have one, but lack the storage space in your current home office to keep files, product or seasonal inventory on hand? Are you seeking a cost-effective solution to expand your home business?
Then consider renting or leasing one or more portable storage containers from A.B. Richards, the leading supplier of weatherproof, fireproof, ground-level storage containers in the Northeast since 1982. It’s an affordable option for business owners because they’re able to easily keep additional stock on hand as opposed to going themselves or sending employees to retrieve product from a far-away storage unit or warehouse.
Business Uses for Portable Storage Containers
For years commercial businesses have turned to portable storage containers to help them keep organized, expand their physical presence without breaking their budgets and conveniently store excess merchandise and equipment.
Businesses that have been consistently using portable storage units from A.B. Richards range from retail, department, discount, convenience and specialty stores, offices, warehouse clubs and restaurants to health care facilities and clinics, parts and materials suppliers, hotels, contractors, computer sales and repair shops, automotive repair and tire centers and outdoor sports facilities. Educational campuses, non-profit organizations, churches, schools and other institutions have also successfully used mobile storage containers from A.B. Richards.
Other uses range widely from storage of client and personnel files, customer information, office equipment, inventory, special promotions, seasonal merchandise and displays, tools and building materials to general storage and storage for outdoor fairs, festivals, and concerts.
How Home-Based Businesses Use Portable Storage Containers
Growing home-based businesses, which provide flexibility and offer lower overhead, can also use mobile storage units for the same or similar purposes. For example, home businesses can use them to:
- Create a Dedicated Home Office: Using on-site mobile storage units allow home business owners to clear a space in their homes – perhaps a guest bedroom, corner of a basement, garage or attic, or an unused dining room – to turn into a base of operations and a place to focus on business.
- Free up Extra Office Space: On-demand portable storage units also let home business owners grow within their current home office space by becoming a landing space for extra clutter, document overflow and seldom-used office equipment and furniture.
- Inventory Storage: Mobile containers provide home business owners with the convenience and security of protecting and storing materials and products vital to their business, as well as the ability to order and keep additional merchandise on hand during the holidays and other busy seasons.
- Document and Equipment Storage: Portable containers further allow home business owners to easily store files and records – such as employee files, client files, and tax records – that need to be kept for several years at a time.
At A.B. Richards we offer business owners 20ft, 40ft and 40ft jumbo (hi-cube) portable storage containers that can be rented or leased. All containers are quickly delivered right on premises.
However, the unit of choice for home business storage (or residential storage in general) is usually the 20ft container. This unit is secure, made of heavy-gauge stainless with sturdy swing-out doors and finished in a neutral gray color to blend in with most residential surroundings. The 20ft unit can also be obtained for as little $79 per month, considerably less than any off-site storage facility.
