Storage Consultants

Self storage is booming, and it has proven to be a great investment for many individuals and corporations. People who do not know a thing about the business are jumping in with both feet!

These days, however, there is a lot more to the self storage industry than a slab of concrete and some metal walls.  Competition is fierce, and it is extremely important to have an understanding of the business before becoming involved.  Is the location good?  Is the local market over saturated?  What variety of sized units should be built?

These questions- plus many, many more – have opened up a whole other occupation in the industry.  The storage consultant. 

Here are just a few of the things a consultant can help with:

• Site evaluation and feasibility studies
• Brokerage services and recommendations
• Project design
• Development and building coordination
• Self storage software suggestion
• Employee staffing and training
• Business and marketing plans
• Advertising and Yellow Pages considerations
• Retail store advice

These licensed professionals know the industry inside and out.  The consultant should be the first person hired when getting into the business and a continued advisor even after the facility is running great!
