What is a light industrial unit?
Light industrial units tend to be used by organisations that produce or manufacture end user products and goods. For example, light industrial units are often designed for processes such as manufacturing, packaging, repair and assembly. It’s generally understood that the term light industrial units refers to any work unit with a floorspace of less than 120,000 square feet.
If you’re looking for a light industrial unit specifically, Industrials have plenty of units under 120,000 sq ft suitable for a wide range of uses, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Contact us on enquiries@industrials.co.uk or call 0800 122 3330
Small industrial units vs large industrial units
If you’re a smaller business or start up, it may make more sense to start off with renting a smaller industrial unit, and then expanding into a larger space as your business grows. This will help keep costs down as you’re growing your business.
If you get to the point of needing a larger space, we can help you find the best fit for your business needs. We have a variety of larger units to choose from. Our Smart Lease has flexible terms, especially when it comes to the lease length, which means your space can grow as your business does.
