Take a tour of a real SSIA member’s self-storage site

See inside Frank’s micro self-storage site in Uxbridge 

 Frank has invested £6,000 so far on this site, converting containers into self-storage units on a small plot of land. 

Take a look around the site and see how he’s using smart technology to run it largely off-grid, what he learned through SSIA about protecting himself with the right lease, and how the site will generate around £3,000 a month.

Tom

“Once you’ve done it once, you can do it twice, three times.”

Tom learned through SSIA that you don’t necessarily need a huge amount of money to get started in self-storage. His original £60-80k estimate was way over, and having experienced people behind him is helping him build the confidence and knowledge to do it for himself.

Frank

“You can take on much bigger projects without having fortunes behind you.” 

Frank was already running self-storage before joining SSIA, but the Academy completely changed his approach. From payment collections and T&Cs to financing units and keeping costs low, hear how he’s using what he’s learned to take on bigger projects without needing a fortune behind him.

Ewan Butler - SSIA Coach & Self-Storage Operator 

 Ewan has been in self-storage since 2021 and is now preparing to sign the deal on his seventh facility.

In this case study, he shares how one of his smaller sites was launched for just £20,000–£30,000, now turns over around £16,000 a month, and how advice from Dean potentially saved him hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Daniel

“The Academy has given me the opportunity to speed that process up.”

Daniel is building his self-storage business alongside a full-time job, other business interests and family commitments. Hear how the support inside SSIA has helped him build confidence, make progress faster and get contractors working on his first site.

Liam

“The costs have been a lot less than we originally anticipated.” 

Liam is getting ready to launch his first outdoor self-storage site. Hear how SSIA helped him keep his start-up costs down, choose the more profitable location and build a site with plans to expand and more than double its profits.

Mark

“For me, one of the advantages is having access to the experts.”

Mark works full-time in a global corporate role and travels regularly. Hear how the support and expert access inside SSIA is helping him stay focused, apply what he's learning and keep moving towards finding his first self-storage site.

Jon

“You can see something that’s already been tested in the real world.”
