What renters use commercial mezzanines for
Wholesale stock buffers
Retailers and ecommerce sellers buffer between bulk receipts and shop floor. Long, predictable bookings at €15–€35/m²/mo — three times the residential rate.
Off-season warehouse
Garden centres, ski-shops, ice-cream cafés rent their off-season square metres back to other businesses with the opposite cycle.
Bicycle + cargo-bike fleets
Last-mile logistics companies and food delivery brands rent ground-floor commercial space for hub-and-spoke fleets.
Trade kit + signage
Builders, gardeners, electricians store off-rotation kit, scaffolding and signage at fraction of self-storage rates. Monthly invoicing fits standard SME accounts.
Studio + photography off-hours
Empty gym floors, restaurants closed during the day, evening-only studios — premium daytime studio rentals through Packhood's commercial tier.
Storage income in Ireland is taxable
Storage income is Schedule D Case IV/V — the Rent-a-Room relief does not cover storage (it is for residential lodgers, not goods). Most single-listing hosts stay under the €5,000 non-PAYE threshold (Form 12). Keep records.

FAQ — renting out your commercial mezzanine
Is this counted as subletting?
No. Storage hosting is a service contract for renting space to store items; your business retains possession and control of the premises. Subletting transfers possession; Packhood does not.
How does VAT work?
VAT-registered hosts charge VAT on the rental; Packhood's 5% commission is also subject to VAT in qualifying jurisdictions. Issued invoices include the breakdown automatically.
Are commercial renters insured separately?
Every booking carries the €300 Host Guarantee aggregate per booking. Renters are responsible for their own contents cover for stored goods; we verify proof of cover for higher-value commercial loads before the booking confirms.
Can I host space in a leasehold premise?
Most commercial leases allow incidental storage use; some require landlord consent for any sub-licence. Check your lease before listing. The responsibility to comply sits with you.
What's the typical booking length?
Commercial bookings are typically 6–24 months, sometimes longer. Setup is once; monthly billing runs until either side gives notice in line with the listing terms.
