A growing business often needs more space before it needs a bigger office or warehouse. Self-storage lets you add space quickly and scale back just as easily. This guide shows how businesses and online shops use it.
Join the waiting listOnline shops often start from a spare room or a garage. As orders grow, a unit becomes a flexible stock room:
Check the terms and conditions for the activities that are allowed in a unit.

Many small businesses and online shops start small, around 4–10 m², and move up as they grow. Larger stock or equipment needs more than 13 m². Start from the number of boxes, pallets and large items you need to store.

Insurance is mandatory when you rent a Storo unit. Coverage options and prices for Portugal will be announced before opening. You can give colleagues or couriers access via the customer portal.
Your monthly cost is the rent for the unit plus insurance. Compare it with the cost of the alternative, such as a warehouse lease or a larger office, and remember that you can scale the space up or down as your business changes.
Units are designed for storing goods. Check the terms and conditions for what is allowed, or ask our team.
Yes. You can give another person access via your customer portal, with an optional end date. They receive an invitation by email and see the shared unit in their own app.
For small or temporary needs it is often cheaper and more flexible, because you only pay for the space you use and don't sign a long lease. For large volumes a warehouse may make more sense.
It depends on your stock. Count your boxes and any pallets or large items, then compare with our size guide. Many small shops start with a small unit and move up as they grow.
