			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.lockaway.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/pallets.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-153" title="business self storage" src="http://www.lockaway.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/pallets.png" alt="business self storage" width="150" height="150" /></a>Self storage is a cheap and effective solution for a growing business trapped in cramped premises that just don’t give room to work.</p>
<p>Moving excess stock  equipment and documents off the premises to a self storage unit frees up space that you’re are paying for anyway and that could be contributing towards your bottom line instead of sitting under a pile of boxes.<br />
<span id="more-152"></span></p>
<p>An accountant will say if you have business space earning £x per square foot and a lot of that space produces no income, then packing up all that stuff to free up business room to make more money is a sensible solution.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget that accountant will also tell you the cost of business self storage is also an allowable business expense that you can deduct from profits before tax.</p>
<p>Another advantage of self storage is excess stock and business records are still easily accessible because storage centres have long opening hours.</p>
<p>Self storage makes sense financially as well. If you rented larger business premises, you would have to take out a lease with a commitment of at least five years, probably have to fit the and clean the premises out and pay legal costs and a deposit – all costs you can forget with self storage.</p>
<p>All of a sudden the relative costs of short or long term self storage against renting or buying premises plus all the add-on costs of managing and equipping the building seem to balance out well in favour of self storage.</p>
<p>In addition to standard storage units, some self storage facilities are available fitted out with pallet racking or archive storage.</p>
<p>Clean, secure and flexible self storage is within a few minutes drive of any business in or around London NW8 with Lockaway Self Storage, which is conveniently sited just off the Finchley Road.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.lockaway.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/lockaway_security.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-137" title="lockaway_security" src="http://www.lockaway.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/lockaway_security.jpg" alt="document archive - lockaway self storage london nw8" width="150" height="150" /></a>Storing </span><span style="color: #000000;">documents</span><span style="color: #000000;"> is a headache for any business as the legal requirements for keeping  financial, tax and sales records increase every year.</span></p>
<p>Many  businesses struggle to find the space in their trading premises to  archive documents  &#8211; and moving just to stack papers is an expensive  option.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span id="more-136"></span>The best place to keep archived business documents safe  and secure is in a rented self storage unit.</span></p>
<p>Because the tax or  VAT man can call to see financial records for up to five years after any  accounts or return based on those records was filed, businesses need to  keep vast quantities of paperwork.</p>
<p>Not only do documents need  looking after to make sure they stay in good condition, they also have  to be kept secure to comply with <span style="color: #000000;">data protection</span><span style="color: #000000;"> laws.</span></p>
<p>Another worry is  criminals stealing information in identity theft fraud.<br />
Self storage  centres solve all these problems for business.</p>
<p>A professional  storage facility offers climate-controlled storage rooms with racking  for <span style="color: #000000;">document archive</span><span style="color: #000000;"> boxes.</span></p>
<p>Climate control is  important and well worth paying for because documents will be kept in  pristine condition because damage from damp or condensation is  eliminated.</p>
<p>Businesses can also rest assured document archives  are secure as storage centres have first class <span style="color: #000000;">security</span><span style="color: #000000;">,  including CCTV monitoring the site and state-of-the-art alarms.</span></p>
<p>Self  storage facilities will also have precautions in place to deal with  fire and other hazards.</p>
<p>Cost conscious businesses can keep  expenses down by managing the storage space and removing records that  are no longer required for shredding and secure disposal.</p>
<p>Self  storage archiving is convenient because the records are stored safely,  but easily accessible, especially if the archiver clearly labels and  organises the documents.</p>
<p>Most self storage units are open during  business hours – and many for longer hours as well.</p>
<p>Access to a  storage rooms is also easy for staff carrying heavy document bundles.</p>
<p>Wide,  well-lit corridors, plenty of trolleys and accessible loading bays make  shifting document archives straightforward.</p>
<p>An added bonus is  archiving documents off-site frees up valuable space at business  premises.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lockaway Self Storage thinks of looking after customer possessions as more than just renting them empty space with walls, a ceiling and a floor.</p>
<p>After all, we are in London NW8 and realise other self storage businesses are not only on our doorstep but right by our customers as well.<br />
<span id="more-89"></span></p>
<p>We know our customers have a difficult time finding the right self storage room to suit their needs and sometimes it&#8217;s difficult to know what the difference is between some firms.</p>
<p>That empty space between the walls may be the same in all self storage centres, but that&#8217;s where the similarity stops between other storage facilities and Lockaway Self Storage.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why Lockaway and our friendly and knowledgeable self storage centre staff go that extra mile in the hope you will as well to come to us.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Customer service</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">We have customer service staff to provide customers with the solutions they want &#8211; like renting the right size room, helping with packaging materials and a van for moving and dealing with any problems fast and efficiently.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">They will also look after your belongings better than if they were their own, from what a student can squeeze in to a mini locker to business customers with a container or more of pallet storage.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Climate controlled storage space</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Next comes presentation. No one wants to pay good money to have their belongings damaged by damp, dust or excessive heat or cold.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">All the storage rooms at Lockaway are clean, dry and climate controlled to make sure what goes in comes out in just the same condition.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sophisticated security</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Security is important as well. Lockaway Self Storage is protected by 24/7 CCTV, sophisticated electronic alarms and access systems plus state-of-the-art fire and smoke detectors. Only a customer has the key to their storage space, and once the door is locked, no one else has access.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Easy access</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Drive up storage, good lighting, plenty of trolleys and a fork lift are provided for easy moving in and out. Long opening hours and plenty of parking every day make Lockaway Self Storage convenient.</p>
<p>Our staff try and think of everything to make using Lockaway Self Storage the right choice for home or business customers. We know we have not reached anywhere near perfection yet, but what makes us a sensible option is that we try and improve all the time by offering you the best self storage experience we can.</p>
