The short answer
There's no legal difference between a business and a personal storage unit — the unit itself is the same. The difference is in how you use it, the access you need, and whether VAT applies to your use case.
Business storage
Business customers typically need frequent access, room for stock or pallets, and the ability to scale up and down with the seasons. Drive-up containers are perfect for pallets and bulky stock; indoor units suit documents and small-pick e-commerce.
Personal storage
Personal storage is usually tied to a life event — a house move, a renovation, a declutter or a student heading home for summer. Access is often less frequent, so the priority is security, flexibility and value.
Which is right for you?
If you're storing stock, tools or archives that earn you money, think business. If you're storing your own belongings during a transition, it's personal. Either way, you get 24/7 access and your own lock and keys.
