Involvement in the ownership of self storage units has become ever increasingly popular with many new businesses and entrepreneurs looking to move into the industry. The possibilities that come with owning a self storage business are vast and here are some of them:

• Return on investment –  Self storage can turn a relatively low-yielding real estate asset and upgrade it to a higher yielding, more stable asset.
• Low staff requirement – Less staff would be needed to operate the facilities, most are run with 1-2 sales staff during the day and with a security guard at night, this way you save money on the amount of people you employ.
• Low facility maintenance – With storage units, there will be low customer traffic and they will be maintenance-free so office staff can cover the minimal housing duties.
• Allows you to use underutilized space – Make money on spare space that you have within a facility by using Self Storage.
• Self storage is useful for a variety of different sized items as units can be a multitude of different sizes, ranging from 10 sq foot units to bulk units of anything up to a 1000 sq foot.
