3 Reasons to Get Modular Rental Spaces

Warehouse space is an important resource if you’re in the business of selling physical goods. It’s also useful if your service business uses tools and equipment in multiple locations. But small businesses also face a lot of fluctuation as they get established. Instead of renting too much or too little warehouse space, find rental units that come in multiple sizes with monthly contracts. Here’s why:

 

1. You don’t know how quickly your business is going to expand.

Unless you want a set block of business and no more, part of your business strategy is always going to focus on growth. Getting more customers gets your company more profit and more opportunities to scale.

But if your business is small or new, you don’t know how quickly that expansion will occur. So find a warehouse rental space that lets your space grow as your business does so you don’t have to start forecasting when you don’t have the data to support it.

2. You can optimize for your busy season.

Even once you have reliable data and forecast models for your business, you’re not going to need the same warehouse space all year long. If you sell physical goods, the fourth quarter might bring in most of your demand, and that means you need more space to handle orders on quick deadlines. But if you have a landscaping business, you might need more space for bulk stone and brick or landscaping equipment in the spring and autumn. Modular units with monthly flexibility let you get more space when you need it and then get rid of it for the rest of the year.

3. Don’t get trapped in long-term decisions.

Long-term contracts hurt a lot of new businesses. You might not know what direction your business is going to go in. Lots of businesses start by inventorying their own products and then switching to a third-party manufacturer. Even more businesses fail. Staying on a monthly plan until you find your feet saves your bottom line.
