The Benefits of Columbus Storage Units for Home-Based Businesses

Home business entrepreneurs know that drawing a boundary between work and play is a challenge. It's one thing to have a home office where you can shut the door to the rest of the house, but it's quite another, if you need to keep inventory on hand for daily shipping.

Smart home business owners realize that renting a unit in a Columbus self storage facility is convenient and inexpensive. But it's also scaleable with the growth of your business and can help you separate your home life from your business ventures.

Renting Columbus storage units gives you day and night access to whatever you've stored. Visit the facility as many times per day as you wish: there aren't any access fees to pay. Your storage space is clean and dry, and it's also private so you don't have to worry about sharing the unit with others.

One of the many benefits of home business storage units is that they're tax deductible when used for your business. Simply claim the expense on your Schedule C.

Do you need to send packages throughout the week? Then why not use your storage unit as a packing facility as well as for inventory. Columbus storage businesses are set up to accept deliveries and pick-up from most shippers. And wouldn't it be great to have easy access to a computer, printer and fax once you've packed your shipments? Many urban storage facilities make office space available to the renters during normal business hours.

Your inventory and equipment is very secure in a Columbus storage facility. Most self storages are enclosed within a tall perimeter fence and have computerized entry gates for access. When you rent a unit you get a unique entry code. The facilities are well-lit at night and have security cameras monitoring all activity on the premises. Every tenant has their own lock and the self storage operator does not have a master key to your unit.

Most larger storage facilities are staffed during regular business hours, so you can always arrange for a shipment to be picked up or dropped off even if you can't be on hand. And since the buildings have concrete aprons surrounding them, driving up to your storage unit is clean and easy.

Columbus storage units make payments easy for you. You can set up automatic payments, or pay each month with cash, check or credit card. You can also purchase insurance for the items in your unit. Otherwise, you'll need to provide your own insurance.

Think about the following questions in relation to your home business as you select a Columbus storage facility:

1.How quick a drive is the facility from my home?

2.Can I access my unit day or night?

3.What "extra" charges are there?

4.Is the management professional and is the facility clean?

5.Is the facility shipper-friendly?

6.Do they have different sized units available?

7.Can I get a discount for pre-paying, agreeing to an extended contract period or renting multiple units?

8.How secure is the facility?
