Running Your Own Business

Running Your Own Business

Do you run a retail business?

How about a home business?

Do you buy, sell and trade goods on the internet?

Or trade at weekend fairs?

Self-storage is the easy resource for small businesses whether you sell fabric or wine! When you need that extra bit of space for stock, it’s the most cost-effective solution.

  • Retail space is expensive particularly in areas with a high footfall and good passing trade. For retailers the shop front and display areas are some of the key elements to get people through the door. However, retailers also pay for space that customers never see – backrooms and stock areas. This adds to the overheads of a business and can make it expensive for entrepreneurs to get a company off the ground.
  • Internet traders, eBay sellers and home businesses often find that their homes are cluttered with stock, sale samples, promotional items, records and files and all the paraphenalia that comes with running a business. This can be difficult if it’s a family home and space is already at a premium.
  • Warehouses are expensive and require long leases. When you rent a warehouse you’re not just paying for the space you use but there are likely to be extra charges for public areas, security fees, management fees, electricity and parking spaces. Furthermore, a long-term lease may not be an option for a new business.


Elephant Self-storage can be a valuable cost-saving partner for your business. Here’s why:

  • You only pay for the space you need. Elephant Self-Storage has a number of different sized storage rooms. We can offer you storage space from ten square feet up to units the size of a small warehouse.
  • There are no hidden costs. You pay for your storage space and that’s it. We don’t charge you for electricity, access to your unit or security.
  • No long-term leases. You can rent your storage unit for a minimum period of a month or stay for as many years as you need. All we ask is two weeks notice when you want to leave.
  • Only you or a key-holder nominated by you can access your storage unit. This means confidential records and files will be kept in complete privacy.
  • You can store whatever you like in your unit (nearly). We don’t store goods which are illegal, perishabale, flammable or explosive but other than that you can store alomost anything else – tools, teddy bears, clothes, fine wines, antiques and everything in between.
  • You can keep promotional and seasonal items packed away until they are needed.
  • You can visit your storage unit as often as you wish to add or remove stock during our long gate opening hours.
  • We provide trolleys to help you load and unload your unit. There’s no extra charge for this service.
  • You get a lot more space for your money. Compared to retail and warehouse space, storage space is very keenly priced.
  • Your goods are protected. Our premises have internal and external alarms. We have CCTV that is monitored 24 hours a day every day of the year with no exceptions. In the event of an alarm being activated a security guard checks the CCTV and sends a security officer or Garda as needed.
