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.

Revisions, Note 2014 is a conference board
projection see, http://www.conference-board.org/data/usforecast.cfm
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.

takes an average of 100 hours to research, and write
a comprehensive business plan within any Industry.
Creating and compiling the five year financial plan
and forecasts including 5 years of budgets, income

key financial ratio analysis can take more than 20

edit and fill in the details of an already written
and organized complete Self Storage Facility business plan.
Whether you are building a 300 room multi building
Self Storage Facility complex or
purchasing an existing 1000 unit Self Storage
Facility Complex or you are looking for
expansion capital to build your next location you
will be able to edit this plan into your own.
