Easystorage Franchise Based In Essex For Sale

Essex, UK
Asking Price:
£225,000
Turnover:
£287,000
Net Profit:
Undisclosed

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a well-established and profitable easyStorage franchise operating across Essex and parts of Suffolk. Bought as a resale in 2022, the business has grown rapidly and now manages around 400 storage pods from a secure 15,600 sq ft warehouse near Chelmsford. With three fully branded 7.5T lorries, all owned outright, along with a forklift, purpose-built office, and extensive removals equipment, the business is exceptionally well-equipped and ready for further expansion.

The operation combines mobile storage, removals, and specialist services including kitchen storage in partnership with local Howdens branches. The model has been refined to attract high-value, long-term clients, supported by a strong local reputation and more than 110 five-star Google reviews. Monthly turnover currently averages £25,000 and is underpinned by repeat customers, referrals, and targeted seasonal work. With a franchise agreement secured until March 2032, the business offers a long runway for growth.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a motivated buyer to step into a business where the hard work and heavy investment have already been completed. With major assets paid for in full and a loyal customer base in place, the foundations are secure, leaving the new owner free to focus on scaling the operation and driving profitability.

Location:

This franchise offers a rare chance to take on a thriving territory that spans Essex outside the M25 and stretches into prime areas of Suffolk, including the bustling town of Ipswich. The region combines urban, suburban, and rural communities, ensuring a steady flow of demand all year round from students, homeowners, landlords, and commercial clients. With the property market in the area remaining strong and the local population continuing to grow, the scope for expansion is huge. Suffolk, in particular, holds untapped potential, while developing deeper commercial partnerships could unlock even greater returns. This is an exceptional opportunity for a buyer looking to step into a high-demand market with room to scale.

Premises Details:

The business operates from two connected barns on a private farm near Chelmsford, offering 15,600 sq ft of secure, dry, and flexible storage space. The site includes all storage pods, vehicles, and a fully fitted office cabin, with 100% control and exclusive access.

Competition / Market:

In the Essex and Suffolk market, easyStorage Essex stands out as something different. While there are plenty of self-storage depots and small local removals firms, very few offer the same convenient, door-to-door service. Customers don’t have to lift a finger; the team collects, packs, stores, and delivers back when needed. That combination of flexibility and service is a real advantage, especially compared to traditional storage where clients have to do all the heavy lifting themselves.

For removals, the business has carved out a niche by handling large moves in stages rather than one stressful day, giving customers time and peace of mind. It’s a model that competitors simply don’t match — and one that wins loyal clients who value a smoother experience.

Reasons for selling:

This is a strategic sale to allow the current owners to refocus on their second business located outside the area. With strong foundations now in place, including a fully staffed operation, outstanding reputation, optimised pricing, and all capital investment completed — the business is ideally positioned for a smooth handover and continued growth.

Employees:
A lean, scalable team structure is in place with one full-time loader currently employed and a second full-time driver in recruitment. Temporary and agency support is used to flex around peak demand, and a trusted pool of casual crew members is available for larger removals. All team members receive professional removals and packing training, ensuring quality and consistency. This structure gives new owners maximum flexibility to build the crew to suit their growth ambitions while keeping core operating costs under control.
Years established:
Established in April 2022
