Self Storage As A Profitable Business

By Anne Austin


If you were to finance a particular class of asset, which would you pick? Would you engage in real estate? Or would you buy stocks?

While stocks and real estate are both worthy spending money in pursuit of profits, funding a self storage facility can also prove to be a profitable business.

For one, self storage is now considered a big and emerging market. As a result, the demand for self storage facilities is also widely increasing. And as mobility becomes a trend in the social realm and field of business, this industry is expected to continue growing in the coming years.

Another reason why self storage is seen as a profitable business is people these days tend to accumulate things at an uncontrollable rate. Most of these people also find it hard discarding things that they no longer need.

Considering the small spaces that urban homes like condominiums have, today's families may have to look for additional storage spaces for their ever increasing possessions. Also, retirees may be surprised to discover that their homes do not have enough space for their household items and personal belongings after downsizing their house.

Aside from social factors, business industries are also contributing to the increasing demand for self storage. Workplaces these days are getting smaller, particularly those of companies that cater to customers in different parts of the globe.

For instance, auction companies that do business online use smaller offices instead of larger ones and opt to put their extra items in storage spaces. Since these types of businesses have strong potential to grow, the demand for units in which they can keep all the items that are being bought and sold also increases.

Besides, not all professionals working from home can copy the feel and appearance of an office for their office at home. This is because either they do not have enough space or they don't have available funds yet.

All these things are true in highly developed countries like Singapore. The industry of self storage in Singapore caters to families and businesses in cities as well as to expatriates that are temporarily staying in the city. Some Storage Space Singapore companies focus solely on storage management, while some do allow franchising of self storage Singapore.
