If you’re a modest-sized business on the rise, and you’re struggling to find room for stock at your current location, it’s time to explore storage and warehousing solutions.
But the main question you could be asking yourself is – ‘Should I keep all of my stock in third-party storage?’
It’s a scary proposition, especially if you’ve never utilised business storage services before. But, as it turns out, this can be a great way to not only streamline your order process but also save you some serious cash.
At FDC Holdings, we’ve been helping UK businesses with their storage and warehousing needs for decades, operating out of our 300,000+ sq ft facility in Lancashire, using top-of-the-line equipment to keep your goods safe and secure. So we’re more than qualified to discuss your needs. Get in touch with the team today to see how we can help, or keep reading to learn more.
Why keep all of your stock at a single location?
Convenience and accessibility
If you’re outgrowing your premises and need some extra space to store your business goods, third-party storage and warehousing makes all the sense in the world – but is it as convenient as keeping everything in-house?
As it turns out, yes (with the right partner). By opting to keep your inventory in a third-party storage facility – like ours – you can still rest easy knowing all your stock is in safe hands, at one convenient location.
This might sound like you’re putting all your eggs in one basket, but working with trained and experienced storage professionals like FDC Holdings is one of the rare scenarios where that is a good thing.
So don’t scatter your stock across multiple business storage units, self-storage units or individually-alarmed units with exhaustive business rates. We can provide all the additional storage and security to meet your business requirements, at a price that meets your budget.
Order fulfilment
These days, if you can kill two birds with one stone in your business, it all equates to cost savings.
Which is why combining storing your inventory in a single location with order fulfilment services is the perfect solution. Otherwise, you’ll waste time and effort collecting your stock and shipping it out yourself, which will undoubtedly affect your enterprise’s bottom line.
At FDC Holdings, we can keep your stock protected under lock and key in our commercial storage units and ship it out when the time is right, ensuring your customers receive their orders on time and in impeccable condition.

Space economy
As a growing business, you may be suffering from a lack of space at your current HQ as the demand for your products rises.
Shelving units begin to overflow, whole office spaces taken up with excess stock. It’s not a very organised look, is it? And, to make matters worse, it could present a safety issue for your staff who’ll need to trawl through the mountain of stock to find the right items.
What many businesses fail to realise is that, while taking up space with stock can be useful, such space can be better used to improve your business prospects.
By utilising flexible commercial storage solutions, you could completely transform such spaces into administration and management hubs, helping you maintain order without needing to shell out for external office space.
In other words, the more space you have taken up with stock, the less space you have to invest in tools and systems that can boost your business productivity, costing you cash.
Product demand
When you’re riding a tidal wave of success, you don’t want to let a lack of inventory stop you from achieving your goals.
If you’re short on space and big on popularity, you may feel pressured into keeping inventory numbers at a lower-than-ideal figure, limiting your chances for growth. This isn’t a smart move as it will cost you customers.
But by utilising a professional secure storage facility, like the one at FDC Holdings, you could open yourself up to serving even more customers in record time, without compromising on storage space, helping your reputation skyrocket.
