What size unit do you need for stock and equipment?
A 5×10 holds shelving and a few hundred shoebox-sized items. A 10×10 takes a pallet or two with room to move. Contractors with tools and materials usually want a 10×15 or larger, ideally drive-up.
What insurance and paperwork do you need?
Business stock usually needs its own insurance; a home policy won't cover it. Keep an inventory with values, and ask the facility for a certificate of insurance requirements before you move stock in.
