ForumsStarting a Business

Luckiest,

I can put a business plan together very easily on this project, although the cost of the land purchase or lease will not be dead on the money. The business foot print follows a gentleman that has the same kind of set up on his property which is completely full year around. I spoke to this business owner for several hours concerning the leasing agreements and vacancy rate. He had a very good point that many families and businesses have down sized and need additional space. My thoughts are with the Bio-Tech Research Lab & Campus currently being established in Kannapolis, NC the demand for additional space will be needed.

These upper and middle class people will need more space than your standard 10'x10' storage units. Parking for recreational vehicles and additional automobiles and equipment will be in very high demand.

The solution for the storage units is to convert the standard oversea shipping containers into storage units. Due to the high cost of shipping the containers back to China for them to reuse, California is sitting on thousands and thousands of these containers. These container units can be bought anywhere from $100.00 to 2000.00 each.

Converting the swing open doors to rollup doors and painting the units give a nice uniform appearance. The scrap metal in naturally recycled for cash to help the overhead. The nice thing about the containers is they can be converted into just about any configuration including having a controlled climate added to the unit.

Strict guidlines would have to be enforced such as no repairs, no environmentally unsafe conditions such as oil leaking vehicles or equipment. A 10' foot perimeter fence with a electronic entrance a surveillance cameras will also be a must.

Depending on how many units and parking spaces, this property should generate anywhere from $15,000.00-$19,000.00 per month. Please let me know what else you would like to see in a business plan.

Thanks,

Mike
