5 Ways Small Businesses Save with Shipping Containers
by Secure-Rite
Managing a small business calls for innovative approaches to optimize every dollar. Entrepreneurs are constantly searching for quick answers that offer value and flexibility... all with limited resources. Renting shipping containers is one choice that is becoming more and more appealing. Let's explore five main advantages to using these adaptable, portable containers.
1) Low Upfront Costs
Renting a shipping container means avoiding the large price tag and long-term commitments that come with purchasing a building or even renting one. There's no need to pay first and last month's rent, and no long-term lease obligations. Shipping containers are available for a fraction of the cost, allowing businesses to get the space they need almost instantly with minimal cash outlay. Containers give companies a fast and affordable way to create additional space for any of their needs.
2) Adaptability
Business needs change quickly, and a flexible storage or office container solution might make all the difference. Portable shipping containers let companies adapt to rapidly changing markets and demand. Whether you have seasonal inventory that needs to be stored or you want to test a new location that is closer to your clients, renting shipping containers lets you remain flexible without having to deal with a permanent building investment.
3) Lower Maintenance
A shipping container is already built to survive storms at sea and the most demanding of environments. They are built to last with very little maintenance, unlike brick-and-mortar structures that often lead to downtime and unexpected costs due to necessary repairs. Reduced maintenance costs give small business owners peace of mind and more time to concentrate on what is really important: the health and profitability of their company.
4) Multiple Uses
Shipping containers aren't just for storage. Our ready-made rental choices—an office, a storage container, or even a kiosk—can be used as pop-up stores, temporary offices, or additional storage for any size. In fact, Secure-Rite’s storage units come in pretty much any size including 10, 20, or 40 foot shipping containers. When looking at cost per square foot, rental containers are unbeatable!
5) Scalability
Your demand for space usually increases as your company grows. Shipping container rentals can scale alongside your company. As your inventory or operating needs grow, you can rent more units; when things calm down, you can return them. After one month, you can return them at any time and Secure-Rite will actually pro-rate your use so you only pay for the days you use the shipping container, No long-term leases or commitments are required. You only pay for the space you need, and only when you need it, which helps you control expenses as your company grows.
More than just metal boxes, shipping containers offer a clever, flexible answer for businesses trying to stay flexible and cut expenses. Renting shipping containers offer a reasonably priced, scalable solution that can change as your company does.
