If you work from home and have items to store then you should store them in a business storage locker. This is true even if you have space somewhere on your home’s property to store these items.

Here is why you want to use business storage instead of personal storage if you work from home:

• Business storage is more secure. You want to make sure that all items associated with your business are as protected and secure as they can possibly be. Business storage will offer better security than personal storage can.
• It makes business papers easier to find. It’s really easy to lose important business papers when you’re storing them amidst all of your other documents at home. This is easily avoided by using a small business storage locker for all work documents.
• You can write off the cost on your taxes. When you store items in a business storage locker, you are making a business expense. This expense is one of many that can be deducted from your business taxes at the end of the year.

When you work from home, you need to do all that you can to separate your business and personal lives. Separating your storage areas is a good place to start.
