For bakery owners, pastries and baked goods aren’t just delicious and delightful treats from the oven – they’re a brand, business, and lifestyle. However, as a self-owned business or a brand new startup – expenses can be costly and impact one’s business financially.
As such, it’s important to find a suitable space for managing the business as a whole – in which you can consider a self-storage space. Using such a space, you’ll be able to both enjoy more space and manage customer orders seamlessly at the same time.
Read on below to find out how bakery owners can run their business smoothly by using a storage space.
Inventory management and storage
If you’re planning to store baking goods and equipment from your home instead of a retail location, a storage space can be a crucial asset to your bakery business. Various items like heavy-duty machinery, kitchen equipment, non-perishables, containers, dishes, packaging materials, and business documents can be stored securely within a storage unit. This allows you to keep a tidy space that ensures you remain organised and efficient.
Besides being able to enjoy extra storage, certain storage unit providers even offer tenants complimentary coverage for overhead costs like powerpoint, air conditioning, and lightings. Meanwhile, specific businesses eligible for the Zero Deposit Guarantee programme will be able to use the cost savings from the deposit amount for other business uses. Work+Store also offers the most affordable self-storages with flexible service terms, inclusive of short term storage unit usage and the choice of interchanging one’s existing unit with a new service or product in Work+Store’s building or even our parent company, LHN Group, the variety including options like an industrial space, vending machine location, and so forth.
Tight security
Just like any other business, security is always a crucial aspect in keeping staff and the business safe. Hence, why storage units may be a viable solution to ensuring a secured space. Typically, these spaces will come with excellent security measures so you can focus on your business completely without any worry.
Besides offering the most affordable self storages, Work+Store also provides round-the-clock CCTV surveillance and accessibility to safeguard one’s space, inventory, and staff. You can find our locations across Singapore, namely 100 Eunos, Bartley, Ang Mo Kio, Pasir Panjang, Bukit Merah, Tampines, and Aljunied.

Grow your business over time
If your home-bakery business requires scaling, but you do not wish to invest in a storefront, then you can consider getting a self storage. This will give you more space to work at home and give you a secure location to store your baked goods. Additionally, you will not have to think of investing in a brick and mortar store right away as your business grows. Your storage space will provide you with the initial support, and as your business expands, you can then think of establishing a store.
Work+Store offers storage units from 6 sqft to 730 sqft and storing and packing units from 88 sqft onwards. Our spaces help facilitate logistics procedures and elevate efficiency in goods acquisition to deliver quality customer service.
For a bakery business, a self storage can prove crucial in building business, storing the items, and ensuring that the products are stored safely. Invest in a suitably sized storage unit to run your bakery efficiently for the long run.
Venturing into a new business – be it baking or any other type of business is always an exciting milestone that’ll give you a new lease of life. However, passion and determination aren’t the only ingredients to a successful business – safety plays an equally important role; especially during such trying times. Ensure implemented safety measures are in line with the government’s, and constantly stay informed about the latest news regarding the pandemic. Everyone’s contributions are needed to slow the spread of the virus and keep it at bay.
