Over the last few years, there has been a shift in mindset favouring entrepreneurship and start-up enterprises. This is due to more options available, both for traditional smaller businesses and online ventures with fewer entry restrictions. One aspect that still acts as a roadblock for many people is the costs of rent and other running expenses. This leads to a rise in companies using alternative workspaces. A popular choice is self storage, but can you run a business from a storage unit?

Yes, it’s possible, but this depends on which storage provider you discuss your concept with, as some won’t accommodate it. Aussie currently works with several clients who operate from one of our self storage units. You’ll find the rates for storage are far cheaper than commercial rental costs, making it an attractive prospect. We’ll use this blog to look at some of the benefits of using self storage and some relevant information to do more research on.

Although there’s a slightly dull and uninteresting image association, storage is more than a simple room where things go to gather dust. There’s a surprising number of uses for households and businesses alike to enjoy a host of benefits. It can help create more space without it becoming too expensive or signing a rigid contract. But how do you choose the right storage option if you’re new to this?

There’s no getting away from it, so brace yourselves. Moving to a new home takes a lot of organising and planning, so it’s better to start as early as possible to give yourself plenty of time. Ultimately, in the rare event that a significant problem happens, you’ll have more than enough time to solve it. A big part of whether you have a positive moving experience is by booking a reputable removals company.

Finding an affordable and reliable moving company in London might sound tricky if you don’t have any experience to fall back on. Luckily, there’s one company that can keep you on budget and provide you with excellent customer service.

Many people are taking steps towards improving their habits, and you can be proactive by following their lead. It’s worth remembering that we’re not just doing this for us – the next generations and ones after that need us to take action now. But to many of us, it’s a bit vague on detail – how can we do something positive?

For anyone who’s planning a relocation and has a grand piano, it’s a good idea if you work with professionals to handle your items correctly. Like most moves, you’ll have plenty of other things to deal with as you plan and organise. However, due to musical instruments’ unique features and value, it’s crucial you work with movers who understand how to pack pianos properly.

Aussie Man & Van has a track record of working with musicians and other artists. We have experience of transporting all types of piano and know the different requirements involved. You can’t leave this side of things to people who wouldn’t know the difference between an upright or grand piano. Not only that, but we only employ experts with superior handling skills.

If you’re struggling to find space in your home, it’s time to organise and make the most of the living spaces you could enjoy. To varying degrees, we all hold onto things when they’re no longer useful and then end up trying to shove them anywhere possible. Out of sight, out of mind. That’s because we live busy lives and have little spare time to keep on top of everything. Before we know it, clutter builds up, and we’re tip-toeing around boxes and containers.

There’s a lot of organising and preparation that goes into it, as well as navigating your busy schedule. It’s easy to make a mistake and forget an important task while dealing with everything. That’s where a solid plan of action is essential.

Typically, a moving checklist acts as the foundation of your relocation, and we suggest reading a few to get an idea of what they usually entail. Similarly, Aussie has plenty of experience and can assist you during the planning stages. However, we need to go a bit deeper than a usual list here for this specific topic. We’ll take you through the additional steps you should consider when leaving the rental market and becoming a homeowner.

Moving to a new home is a complicated task that comes with many things to consider, not to mention some difficult choices ahead. The positive side of relocating is a chance of a fresh start in a new environment. But it’s also a bit chaotic, especially as life doesn’t allow you time off to concentrate on the move. Plus, there’s also the potential for it to cost a fair bit of money, which factors into how we approach it.

There are many articles on removals and storage online and in magazines, but most focus on homeowners. That’s why we’re taking a different perspective by helping our followers who rent. It’s a tough road to venture from being a tenant with little in the way of support when issues arise. One of the biggest complaints we hear about is when landlords deduct large chunks from their deposit when it’s time to hand back the keys.

Some businesses naturally complement one another, even if they’re from different sectors with very other operating methods. Interior designers work with removals and storage companies regularly for several reasons.
