Hello All,

Has anybody got any experience or thoughts on a Container Storage business?

I've done a lot of research into it and it seems to be a good money spinner. Site upwards of 50 20ft Containers with a few smaller ones, provide good security and access, get the location correct and you are away.

I've spoken to a couple of people in the industry and it seems that once you get going it's very easy to maintain.

Thoughts?

Appreciate the comments guys. Competition is all part and parcel of it really, key will be grabbing the customer at the start. Once you have them they are unlikely to move to another company just to save a few pennies. Give them an incentive to start and that should keep them in place.

Like the idea of the office space and additional services. My thoughts are to get up and running first and then add services on as and when we can.

Also like the idea of 'Buy to Let' containers, not for now but possibly for the future. Sell the containers to people, rent them out on their behalf and charge a service charge (similar to holiday parks).
