Our stock is overflowing, does renting a warehouse make sense?
I have experience with this I have to say: renting a warehouse depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

But what is the risk really? Will the business shut down if this choice is wrong? I'm saying this so you're super careful.

Another perspective: maybe the core issue with renting a warehouse is something else entirely. Think about it this way...

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. honestly the biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.
This approach has a cost, which isn't discussed. A two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast.
I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.
I'm writing this so you don't make the same mistake. Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

I'll argue the opposite don't get mad. A two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast.
Everyone rushing into renting a warehouse gets stuck at the same point.

Absolutely. If I were to add anything: Calculate this based on total annual cost, not the monthly bill.
If I were you, I'd go this route.

I agree, and I'd like to emphasize that. When making a decision, also write down the cost of reversal.

Could you elaborate on that? anyway calculate how many months you can survive without revenue then halve that number.
