Storage Container Finance Leasing
Whether you’re a local storage facility or looking to purchase a storage container for your own business use, purchasing a few storage containers can use up cash that could be better spent elsewhere. Often shipping containers are used for storage. Probably the most popular size is the 20ft container storage.
Self Store Container Finance Options
It is often not practical for most businesses to purchase several storage containers outright with cash, with prices generally in the region of £3000 per shipping container price, it can be a significant cash outlay.
Some new start self storage companies may choose to initially rent a few units, but often the costs of renting will take a significant slice of the revenue generated by the rental income. By using a Hire Purchase or Leasing facility, the self storage company may ultimately own the units at the end of the agreements and also the flexibility of financing enables the company to build on the stock of storage units as the business grows.
