Starting a new business is one of the most rewarding experiences anyone can undertake. But it’s not to be undertaken lightly – the amount of planning that goes into starting a company is very detailed and time consuming. Plus you’ll need to raise a lot of capital and resources to ensure that your business survives the first twelve months.
Capital is the key to any business’s success. It’s a balancing act, with the scales being slightly different dependent on the sector your new business fits into. If you’re a product-based company you will have to balance out your capital between business costs, production and stock. You’ll also need to have a small fund available for emergency or unforeseen expenses. And plan out how much stock you need to produce for your initial run; what the materials are to make the product(s) and their costs. Then you’ll need to have a monthly amount of finances set aside for your business operating costs. For example, office or factory/depot rental, wages, taxes, transport, expenses, and many more.
Start-up companies and self storage
So let’s focus on one area of your future company’s budget – rent. As previously mentioned, the first twelve-months is one where you hope that your initial capital covers (if you’ve managed to raise some), and your main aim is to break even. That’s a great start, but a lot of businesses will run a deficit for their first year. Most businesses need an office, factory, or depot – maybe all three – to run their company. So one of your initial monthly expenses is premises rental. And at a time when commercial rentals are increasing, anyway where you can save on this could be a game changer.
Your first twelve to twenty-four months are a litmus test for you and your new business. So you should try to run your company with a small number of staff who can perform various duties; you want to hire an affordable premises that can possibly act as more than one function for a low a rate as possible.
So it might be a savvy move to think a bit differently, and take an alternative approach. Why not rent out one or multiple self storage units for your new company?
