The history of Westminster is rife with industrious individuals who share common heritages. Family businesses are the norm and new ventures spring up regularly. Any successful startup knows that working smart and saving a dime everywhere you can, is one of the keys to long-term success. These companies know how to take advantage of every available asset to keep their business alive and thriving. One valuable resource popular with new ventures is a Westminster Self Storage unit. The Evolution of a Successful Business Even Bill Gates started in his garage. Many successful enterprises start small, in a garage, a dorm room, or at a kitchen table. Growth is usually incremental, expanding from the garage into the rest of the house. Business partners you bring on will do the same until your spouses and children start complaining. Your supplies and inventory take up most of the room. They just sit there, making it difficult for you to even do business. You are smart though; you guard the balance in your checkbook with the tenacity of good guard dog. When you spend money, there had better be a solid ROI (return on investment). When your lack of space and tempers begin to reach critical mass, it is time to add a storage unit from Westminster Self Storage to your business operations. Keeping your inventory separate from your daily activities, under lock and key, keeps it safe, secure, and easier to keep track of. Your inventory is an integral component of your cash flow and just as important as your checkbook. We can guard it for you, freeing up your energy for other activities; like selling your inventory and running your business. Convenience When you start bringing on more employees, more of them will need access to your inventory. But you don’t want to lose control. Many businesses keep an inventory control sheet on a clipboard at the door. Others use one of several apps on their smartphones that keeps everyone in the organization informed of inventory levels and where it is going. Using an inventory control app allows those adding to the inventory and those removing items to make a notation that everyone can see. You can wake up in the morning and see that your shipping department removed 126 items to ship that day. That is you best day yet. Your production department can just as easily indicate that they added 250 items. At least you are keeping up with sales. You are doing all of this from an off-site mini-warehouse that for now is just the right size. Growth As you grow, you may find that one storage unit isn’t enough. That’s ok, go ahead and add another one. Maybe by now you have two or three different products you want to keep separate from your main inventory anyway. Storage units from Westminster Self Storage give you plenty of flexibility. We know if you keep growing like this you will one day outgrow us. You will need a big warehouse. That is exciting. We will miss you. That is, until next month, when you come rent a unit for your family. Things are going well.
