Today's Top Tip
Online business plan scams are alive and doing very well. There's even a new wrinkle: the "crowd funding". Trust me, no one makes money but the promoters in this scheme.Stop by any day for a new Top Tip of the Day
A lot of businesses will find financing a lot easier with the self storage business plan. Mini storage facilities, mobile storage units and even boat storage facilities will find keys to help them with financing.
You are very lucky. You've got two things that most businesses don't have: real assets and real demand. No matter what type of self storage business you have, you've got property or equipment or buildings -- real stuff. And whether the economy is up or down, people still move, and they still need to store stuff.
As I say, you are very lucky. Use those two strengths in creating your business plan.
On the asset side, you may find that you will need two or even three different types of lenders/ lessors to make the project happen. That's fine. Don't expect to find it all in one place, or all on the same terms. Be flexible to make the whole project come together. Whether you are buying out an existing business, building a new one, or expanding, look at all your options. You just might be surprised.
You can probably use the same basic business plan for each of your funding options, just tweaking it for each type of lender. We recommend the 7 Step Self Storage Business Plan set because it is flexible and can be easily edited for re-submission to different lenders.
