Business storage: stock, archives and seasonal goods

Flexible alternative to a bigger warehouse — without a long lease.

• Shop stock, webshop inventory, overflow or seasonal stock
• Scale up or down at any time — pay only for what you use
• Important: in- and outbound frequency determines whether wide loading access matters
• Ideal for overflow around peak moments (Black Friday, Christmas)

Paperwork that can't go, but takes up office space.

• Rarely consulted archives — external storage without breaching retention rules
• Store dry and secured — damp = paper's worst enemy
• Sensitive files behind access control (GDPR requirement)
• Trend: digitise daily-needed papers; rest goes external

Capacity that moves with the season. See also our consumer guide on seasonal storage for examples and packaging tips that also apply commercially.

• Hospitality: patio furniture outside terrace season
• Events: staging, decor, audio equipment between productions
• Retail: seasonal stock that only sells part of the year
• Up: when needed. Down: when possible — no fixed yearly costs

Furniture, stock and archives need a safe place for a while. See our guide on storage during renovation for the full approach — timing, insurance, what goes and what stays.

Business goods and sensitive files call for a secured space.

• Camera surveillance, alarm and access control
• Ask: how is access arranged, who has rights?
• GDPR requirements: HR, customer, legal data → access control mandatory

Tip: unsure whether external storage fits your GDPR obligations? The Dutch Data Protection Authority has practical guidance on data storage — especially relevant for external processor responsibility.

Paper, electronics and stock are sensitive to damp and temperature swings.

• Dry, clean, climate-controlled space prevents mould + deterioration
• For archive and fragile goods: not a luxury, but a requirement
• At Inbox: dry, heated and monitored — standard for every unit

A business grows, shrinks and has peaks — flexible scaling is crucial. See what storage costs per month for the tiered discounts on longer periods.

• Scale up and down between periods
• Short notice period — no long lease
• Pay only for space you actually use

Price = fixed + variable part; depends on volume, duration and service level. Business rates are exclusive of VAT. Check how your goods are insured — especially for higher value or special items, report this in advance. For context: our guide on insurance for storage and moving.
