Establish an easyStorage container storage franchise in Wiltshire, with estimated Year 5 turnover of £600,000+ and EBITDA of £200,000 to £250,000.
A potential site has been identified for this new Wiltshire territory, with an estimated 175 to 200 containers after five years. Set-up costs are approximately £250,000, with an own-capital requirement of around £125,000. Funding is typically split equally between the franchisee and a bank, while operating breakeven is estimated at approximately month 17.
The business offers flexible monthly container storage rentals, creating recurring revenue as occupancy develops. Customers book through easyStorage's VAULT platform and access their units using smartphones, potentially 24 hours a day. Central sales and customer experience teams manage sales and customer enquiries, while specialist marketing partners support local customer acquisition.
The site operates without employees. Storage assets are purchased for the location and rented back to the franchisee, backed by easyStorage's £180 million facility with Arini Capital. Additional containers are delivered as customer demand increases, allowing capacity and rental commitments to develop progressively. Franchisees use the PULSE platform to monitor performance, with ongoing guidance from a Franchise Development Manager.
A strong business background or track record of previous success is beneficial because landlords generally require a strong covenant. The franchise term is 10 years, renewable for a further 10 years.

They are not actual results or guaranteed returns, and performance depends on rent, local pricing and competition. Independent financial advice is recommended.
