When a company needs to move an office to a new location or, even better, open another office in a new city, it is usually a good sign. Things are going well, and the company is adjusting and expanding. But just because things are going well does not necessarily mean that your company has tons of money that it can throw away on new office furniture. Unfortunately, though, it can be difficult to save money on office furniture. Unless, of course, your company decides to use self storage, instead.

When not using self storage, the process that most companies use to open a new office or move an existing one can be pretty wasteful. Instead of playing it smart with self storage, companies simply sell off their old office furniture and cubicles, and buy it all again when they get to their new location. And while this may seem simpler than self storage, the truth is that it is not. In actuality, it is generally the more pricey option, not better one.

But how do you save money using self storage to move your office? Pretty simply: it helps you avoid losing money when reselling your furniture. No matter who you sell it to, you can only sell your cubicles, etc., for a small amount of the original purchase price. Even if it has not seen much use, and is (for all intents and purposes) new, you will lose a large amount of money when you try to resell it.

But self storage can really cut down costs When buying four new cubicles, you can spend anywhere from $2,500 for ultra simple models to $8,000 for fancy Hayworth cubicles. However, if you choose to use self storage for your existing furniture, you will be able to use your existing office furniture. You simply load up your existing cubicles, etc., into a self storage unit. When your company is ready to move into its new space, the self storage unit will be delivered, allowing you to easily unload and use your old furniture and equipment.

Saving money with self storage also applies when opening up a new branch office. The truth is, many companies use only about 70% of their current cubicles and furniture. Rather than simply purchasing all you need for a new office, you can save money by collecting your current unused furniture and placing it in self storage. And when your new office space is all set, you have enough inventory that you will only need to buy what is absolutely necessary... and since the self storage unit itself is so cheap to rent and use, your final savings are considerable.
