Business & Commercial Storage Units
Smart Storage Solutions for Businesses of Every Size
Running a business comes with enough challenges — storage shouldn’t be one of them. Whether you need extra room for inventory, secure space for office furniture, or a clean place to store equipment and documents, Storage Star’s commercial storage units are built to support your business operations.
From small business owners to large businesses, we make it easy to get the self-storage units you need, without the high cost of warehouse space or extra office space. Storage Star rents commercial storage units at all locations nationwide, from 5x5 lockers for files to 10x30 units for equipment and work vans.
Why Business Owners Choose Storage Star
Every business is different, and so are its business storage needs. At Storage Star, we offer flexible, scalable options that work whether you’re growing fast or streamlining operations.
Our commercial storage solutions are ideal for:
Contractor & Equipment Storage
Drive-up units for tools, materials, and equipment
Inventory & Retail Storage
Overflow stock, seasonal inventory, and pallets
Commercial Vehicle & Fleet Storage
Parking for work vans, trucks, and trailers
Office & Document Storage
Furniture, files, and records in climate-controlled units
Our business storage solutions are also used by real estate stagers, event planners, and sales teams storing samples. At select locations, we even offer office space so you're just steps away from your storage unit (and supplies).
Office & Document Storage
Medical, legal, and accounting offices often need to keep records for years but don't want to pay office rent to store them. A climate-controlled unit keeps file boxes, archives, and wood furniture away from the heat and humidity that cause warping, mold, and faded paper.
Most offices start with a 5x5 or 5x10 for file boxes, or a 10x10 when furniture is included. Shelving units help keep boxes off the floor and make retrieval faster.
Commercial Storage That Works for You
Here’s how our self-storage facilities help businesses thrive:
Need | Solution |
|---|---|
Overflow Inventory | Climate-controlled, spacious units to keep items organized |
Document and Records Storage | Secure, dry units for file boxes and archives |
Temporary Space During a Renovation | Short-term units with drive-up access |
Vehicle or Trailer Storage | On-site vehicle storage at many locations |
Event Gear, Signage, or Displays | Easy-access space to rotate inventory as needed |
Whether you’re downsizing, relocating, or simply need additional space, Storage Star helps you keep your focus where it belongs — on your business.
Select the Best Size Storage Unit for Your Business
Unsure which storage unit size you need for your growing business? Small- to medium-sized storage units are great for storing marketing materials, boxes, and office supplies. Large to warehouse-sized storage units are optimal when you need to store equipment, pallets, inventory, and other bulky, oversized items.
Storage Unit Size | Type of Storage Unit | What It Fits |
|---|---|---|
5x5 | Business storage locker | Boxes of files, small equipment, seasonal displays, a few desk chairs |
5x10 | Small storage unit | Office furniture for one small office, filing cabinets, boxes of inventory, marketing materials, computer |
10x10 | Medium storage unit | Contents of a small office, including desks, chairs and cabinets, pallet storage, retail overstock |
10x15 | Medium storage unit | Multiple offices' furniture, extra inventory, small equipment and tools |
10x20 | Large storage unit | Contents of a small warehouse bay, several pallets |
10x25 and 10x30 | Extra large storage unit | Large inventory stock, commercial or contractor equipment, vehicle storage for a work van or trailer |
Exact cubic footage varies by storage facility, so it's worth confirming dimensions before selecting your size. Also, for businesses, climate control and drive-up access matter as much as square footage, so take into consideration both storage unit size and unit features.

Frequently Asked Questions About Business Storage Units
What can I store in a business storage unit?
You can store office furniture, documents, inventory, electronics, trade show materials, or seasonal decor — anything that helps free up your workspace or streamline your operations.
What types of businesses use Storage Star’s business storage units?
We support a wide range of business owners, including e-commerce inventory managers, real estate agents, retailers, contractors, event planners, and medical or legal offices. Whether you're a startup or part of a large enterprise, we have the right business storage solution for your needs.
Do you offer month-to-month rentals for business storage?
Yes! All our commercial storage units are available with flexible month-to-month storage rentals, so you’re never locked into a long-term commitment.
Are your commercial storage units secure?
Yes! Our self-storage facilities feature 24/7 video surveillance, gated access, and on-site staff to help ensure the safety of your stored items. You can trust Storage Star to keep your office materials safe and sound.
Are office storage units accessible at any time of the day or night?
Many of our self-storage facilities offer extended gate access hours, typically from 6 AM to 10 PM. That means you can retrieve documents, inventory, or equipment whenever it’s convenient for your business, day or night. Check with your local Storage Star location for specific access hours.
What size storage unit do I need for a small business?
Most small businesses use a 10' x 10' or 10' x 15' unit, which fits office furniture, filing cabinets, and moderate inventory. The right size depends on whether you're storing documents, equipment, or physical inventory. Larger operations with pallets and equipment should rent a 10' x 20' or larger. If you're planning to store a work van or vehicle, consider a 10' x 25' or larger.
What is the best storage solution for a small business?
For most small businesses, a self-storage unit is the most cost-effective option: it's month-to-month, costs far less than a warehouse or extra office space, and comes in sizes from 5x5 lockers to 10x30 units. Choose climate control for inventory, documents, or electronics, and drive-up access if you load and unload often.
What's the difference between climate-controlled and standard storage units?
Climate-controlled units maintain a consistent temperature and humidity range, protecting sensitive items like electronics, documents, wood office furniture, and inventory from damage. Standard units don't regulate temperature, making them better suited for durable goods like contractor equipment, work vehicles, or tools.
What's the difference between business and personal storage units?
The units are the same; what changes is how you use them. Businesses usually prioritize drive-up access for loading, climate control for inventory or records, and larger sizes.
Can I rent a commercial storage unit online?
Yes! You can rent and sign your lease online in minutes. That includes setting up autopay and getting your gate code.
Do any Storage Star locations have office space?
Yes! Select locations offer private offices and flex office space, alongside storage, so you can work steps away from your inventory, files, or equipment. Storage Star lists all commercial office spaces for rent on LoopNet, where you can verify office size, amenities, cost, and more.
