With an increase in start-up companies and the rise of the self-employed across the nation, since the economic downturn; the SME sector is going from strength to strength. More locally, Wolverhampton is at the centre of considerable investment and regeneration and is increasingly becoming a centre for entrepreneurial endeavour.
In excess of £3.7 billion is being invested into the City of Wolverhampton to improve it as a place to work, live and study. The city is expected to benefit from one of the fastest growing economies in the UK, with predictions that it will outperform the national average by 3% over the next decade. Furthermore, Wolverhampton is home to around 50,000 graduates with well-developed research centres and links between education and business. All in all the city is becoming an increasingly positive place for business owners to nurture their start-up companies.
One of the many factors that has been documented to support start-ups and SMEs, in recent times, has been the use of self-storage facilities. Their affordability and flexibility are key factors in this. Incurring the expense of renting premises and paying business rates etc can often be quite a burden to start-ups. Self-storage is the far more affordable option which allows the business owner to occupy as much space as they need without being tied into a long term contract. If demand peaks, more space can be acquired at short notice and equally if less space is needed, it’s easy to scale back. Overall, self-storage is an economical and practical solution for a number of businesses.
