The Industry

The Moving and Storage Industry supports the growth of small and family-owned Businesses in Every State in America with 8,100 companies doing $16.5 billion in business annually at 17,000 locations, according to the American Moving and Storage Association, (AMSA). While 96% of business establishments in the industry are small local businesses that earn less than $10 million annually and account for 72% of all industry jobs, 84% of all industry business establishments are micro-businesses that earn less than $1 million annually and account for 31% of all industry jobs. The moving and storage industry provides 122,600 jobs and spends $7 billion on equipment, materials, parts and supplies and services needed to conduct business annually. Direct and Indirect Economic impact is estimated to contribute to $8.9 billion in household earnings, 353,000 jobs, and $1.2 billion in business and personal income tax revenue. The number of industry jobs is 1.6 times greater than the number of jobs in the auto manufacturing industry and 5.6 times greater than the industry of scheduled air freight transportation. 

The Industry is tied directly to the health of the U.S. Economy and consumer disposable income. The CBO anticipates that the current recession, which started in December 2007, ended in the second quarter of 2009, making it the longest recession since World War II. Such growth compares to a 2.6% real rate of decline during 2009, the depths of the recession. The swing in performance from 2009 to 2010 was the widest since 1983, a period of 27 years. The increase in real GDP in 2010 primarily reflected positive contributions from private inventory investment, exports, personal consumption expenditures (PCE), nonresidential fixed investment, and federal government spending. Severe economic downturns often sow the seeds of robust recoveries. During a slump in economic activity, consumers defer purchases, especially for housing and durable goods, and businesses postpone capital spending and try to cut inventories. Once demand in the economy picks up, the disparity between the desired and actual stocks of capital assets and consumer durable goods widens quickly, and spending by consumers and businesses can accelerate rapidly. Although the CBO expects that the current recovery will be spurred by that dynamic, in all likelihood, the recovery will also be dampened by a number of factors. Those factors include slow wage and employment growth, high unemployment as well as a continued sluggish housing market. Current expectations by the CBO are for real GDP growth of 1.7% to as much as 2.25% in 2012 and as much as 4.1% in 2014.

The continued rebound in GDP will also affect real disposable income growth. Real DPI increased 1.8 percent in 2010, compared with an increase of 0.5 percent in 2009. Adjusted for inflation, per-capita disposable incomes have been struggling for the past two years and are currently at about the level first achieved in November of 2007. Current expectations are for only 1/2 of 1% disposable income growth in 2013 with a solid 1.9% in 2014. Most of 2011 saw a slow decline in incomes, a trend that began reversing in November of 2012.Real GDP growth was approximately 2.0 percent in 2012 and current expectations by the CBOE are 1.7 percent in 2013 with the economy gaining momentum in the second half of 2013. It then assumes an average growth rate of 4.1 percent for the years of 2014 to 2017. Inflation is expected to be modest at approximately 2% in 2013 about the same as 2012. The unemployment rate is assumed to be mostly unchanged from current levels or slightly better going into the end of the year. We do not reach “full employment” for several years, with the forecasted unemployment rate being 5.6 percent by 2017. As the housing market continues to recover and the economy adding more and more jobs forcing people to pick up ad move and with the baby boomers downsizing into retirement the Self Storage Industry looks prime for continued real growth. With less uncertainty by businesses and investors as to tax policy this year with rising expectations that split government in Washington will slow the explosion in government spending the economy looks poised for sustained growth as businesses and investors get back to the business of growing and expanding the bottom line. For operators just getting started this June be the best time within the business cycle to plan and open your new facility understanding that with interest rates still at all time low levels and marginal operators going out of business you will have accounted for the marginal efficiencies necessary to not only survive against the competition but to thrive as we cycle once again into economic expansion.

Whether you are building a new Self Storage building are looking to raise additional capital to expand your currently profitable self storage facility, or looking to evaluate and value your facility to sell, current statistics prove that you will do much better with a business plan than without. According to Dunn and Bradstreet the primary reasons for failure vary, but all of the reasons  come under the category of poor planning. The most important benefit of a business plan is that it sets the stage for the future of your business as you want it to be positioned in the marketplace. A business plan will make it easy for your banker to take action as he/she gains insight into the details of your Inn and the goals that you have outlined. Potential investors can review your plan and decide whether or not to make an investment based upon the risk. You will benefit most as you study and gain detailed insight into your own operations. Updating and constantly reviewing your plan will give you more insight as both a manager and decision maker.
