If you’ve ever wondered, “Can you run a business in a storage unit?” the answer is yes—with the right setup. More businesses are realising the benefits of using a storage unit.

At Store First, we've created a unique space that goes beyond traditional storage to support your business. Here’s how we’re helping entrepreneurs and businesses thrive in our versatile spaces.

Flexible Business Storage Options Tailored to You

Our flexible units cater to businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a start-up needing a small space or a growing business needing more room, our units can scale with your needs. You can upsize or downsize as necessary, ensuring you only pay for the space you need.

Stay connected with free Wi-Fi and communal working spaces.

We know that connectivity is key for any modern business. That’s why our locations offer free high-speed Wi-Fi in our communal areas, allowing you to work on-site without interruption. Also, our communal workspaces are comfortable. You can tackle admin tasks, meet clients, or catch up on emails—all just steps from your storage unit.

Seamless parcel handling—delivery and collection.

Running an e-commerce or product-based business? Store First makes logistics easy with our postage delivery and collection service. Our teams can coordinate postal services, and even if you're not on-site at the time, we'll take in any deliveries for you and keep them safe.

24/7 Access for ultimate flexibility

Our facilities offer secure 24-hour access to your unit, so you can work around your own schedule. Need to retrieve stock after hours or prep for an early shipment? No problem—you have round-the-clock access to your unit, allowing you to run your business on your terms.

Complimentary amenities to keep you going.

At Store First, we support our business customers beyond just storage. Enjoy free tea and coffee to fuel your workday, and make the most of our forklift and pallet truck access to handle larger items or bulk stock with ease.

Free boardroom and meeting room access.

All our locations nationwide provide free access to boardrooms and meeting rooms. This includes all Store First and Business First centres. You can host client meetings, team catch-ups, or presentations in a professional environment at no extra cost. With 25 Store First and Business First locations nationwide, there’s always a space nearby to suit your needs.

Secure and protected storage.

Security is paramount. Our facilities provide a free, heavy-duty padlock for your unit. We also have CCTV monitoring to keep your belongings safe. Our service, included in your rental price, provides £15,000 in contents protection. So, you can store your things with peace of mind.

Running a business from a storage unit is not only possible at Store First but also incredibly convenient.
