Self-Storage as a Business
from $ZERO to HERO turning unutilised space into income The SELF STORAGE INDUSTRY was almost non-existent 25 to 30 years ago. It started when a few landowners began to build garages on their properties and rented them out. Additional properties were developed in phases as cash flow was generated. In these storage facilities, occupancy averaged 90 percent and rental income was decent. And so, developers copied each other and the self-storage industry grew. Most of these self-storage businesses targeted the residential market and offered no additional services such as move-in transport or credit card payments to their customers. With little to no advertising, the industry was largely unknown to consumers. Entrepreneurs woke up when South Africa was in the middle of a gigantic property boom. Building a storage facility was not viable due to the land being expensive. Those who were able to build new facilities were those who already owned suitable land to develop on. Buying an existing facility was also extremely difficult as the original developers were getting excellent returns and all hung onto their businesses. These storage facilties were generally not even zoned correctly nor did they have the correct fire regulations applied to the buildings. Read […]
Self-Storage
Keeping it Local Self-storage has become a solution for many who require just a bit of additional space whether it is for personal or business use The self-storage industry has come a long way originating in the 18th century in England. It was originally used for clients leaving their valuables in the care of British banking institutions. It is now a booming industry with billions spent worldwide annually. It has become the answer when presented with the dilemma of, “What do I do with all my stuff?” With an economy struggling to recover we all have to change the way we function. The storage industry is showing no signs of slowing down as it offers an affordable solution to maximizing space. Businesses are changing the way they operate and many households are adjusting to reusing existing space at home for work, education and lifestyle. Many of us have become accustomed to using self-storage especially in the event of any major lifestyle changes including working from home, marriage, divorce, births, home maintenance or relocation.
