STORAGE SOLUTION FOR WHEN YOU ARE DOWNSIZING YOUR BUSINESS PREMISES

If you are a business owner and own or rent your premises, you will understand how difficult these unprecedented times are at the moment with the current COVID-19 pandemic. Office space can be costly, and perhaps you have reached a point that downsizing your business seems like the only realistic option. It is not an easy decision to make! The reality is, to keep your business running and stay competitive, downsizing your office or storage space will reduce costs in the long run.

Benefits of downsizing

Running a successful business is stressful at the best of times. From worrying about cash-flow, keeping you and your employees safe and in some cases, being unable to borrow as and when needed. Most businesses will agree that if they find themselves in financial difficulty, by reducing upfront costs is key.

Although downsizing isn’t always a choice, there are several benefits to gain. Not only are you freeing up your financial resources, but you will also be allowing greater flexibility by generating an additional income. 

Another benefit is being able to relocate. Due to lowering your costs, you are more likely to improve your operations and allow new customers to find you.

When is it time to downsize your business?

It is unlikely you will wake up one morning and decide now is the time to downsize. Chances are you have probably noticed a change in your finances over time, and will need a plan of action. Ask yourself the following questions!

• Have you noticed an increase in your overheads?
• Are you paying suppliers more money due to recession?
• Have you noticed your sales have decreased dramatically and you are struggling to restock?
• Is it impossible to undercut your competitors?

If you answer yes to any or all of these questions, the best option is to reassess your finances. Once you have made that decision, put together a plan and be proactive.
