The Upside of Downsizing Your Business

So, you need to down-size your office due to the weak economy. Realizing that it is only a matter of time until things turn around, you don't want to get rid of furniture, extra supplies, and office equipment. After all, these will come in handy when the situation improves, and would be costly to replace. Whether you need to store complete offices, cubicles, or just a few desks and computers, Highlands Executive Storage could be your answer. Maybe you only need to store that favorite chair or some decorative items and files. No matter if it is a little or a lot, self-storage can be the answer to your dilemma.

A client entering a business that contains several unoccupied desks, with little or no activity around some of the office equipment, may deduce that this is a company that is hurting. Not the impression you want to create.

If you own the building or cannot move to smaller quarters due to your lease, by storing the extra furniture temporarily you can create an inviting and spacious office. Re-arrange the remaining furniture, using area rugs to cover obvious marks from previous furniture placement, if necessary. This would be a great time to apply a fresh coat of paint to the walls, and add a new plant or two. A BUSINESS THAT IS OBVIOUSLY COMFORTABLE WITH ITSELF INSPIRES CONFIDENCE IN ITS EMPLOYEES, CLIENTS AND CUSTOMERS.

As the economy improves, you can bring back individual pieces from your storage unit. This is another great feature with self-storage, you control the pace at which you re-build your business, and that's a good feeling.

While in a conservative mode, this might be a good time to use newly created space for things you only dreamed about before. For instance, establishing an area for children to play or read, maybe a spot for watching TV or playing video games, what ever might be suitable for your type of business.
