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.
For
self-storage owners, developers, builders and
investors, there’s no doubt that 2008 was a bumpy
year. For many, it was a year of losses and
slowdown; others fared better. “The self-storage
industry is enduring arguably one of the toughest
economic environments it has ever experienced,” says
Minh Tran, managing director, Holliday Fenoglio
Fowler LP in Houston. “Consumer confidence is at an
all-time low; unemployment rates are continually on
the rise; and many have lost a considerable amount
of money in the stock market.”
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. . U.S. economic growth during 2010 came in
at a 2.9% rate after inflation, the strongest performance of the
past five years. 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 GDP growth of 3.1% in 2011 falling
off to
2.8 percent in 2012. This current forecast reflects the CBO’s
expectation of continued strong growth in business investment,
improvements in residential investment, net exports, and modest
increases in consumer spending

revisions.

revisions.
The continued rebound in GDP will also affect real disposable income
growth. Real DPI increased 1.4 percent in 2010, compared with an
increase of 0.6 percent in 2009. Even though economic activity began
to increase again during the second half of 2009, the unemployment
rate continued to rise, finishing the year at 10.0 percent. Hiring
usually lags behind output during the initial stages of a recovery
because firms tend to increase output first by boosting productivity
and by raising the number of hours that existing employees work;
adding employees tends to occur later. As the recovery continues,
the economy will add roughly 2.5 million jobs per year over the
2011–2016 period, CBO estimates. However, even with significant
increases in the number of jobs, a substantial reduction in the
unemployment rate will take some time. CBO projects that the
unemployment rate will gradually fall in the near term, to 9.2
percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, 8.2 percent in the fourth
quarter of 2012, and 7.4 percent at the end of 2013. Only by 2016,
in CBO’s forecast, does it reach 5.3 percent, close to the agency’s
estimate of the natural rate of unemployment. Current inflation
expectations barring any major Geo Political factors are for
inflation to remain low throughout 2011.
One primary measure of inflation, and a favorite of the Federal
Reserve, is the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index. This
measure of consumer inflation rose at a 1.8% annual rate during the
fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting the recent rise in food and
gasoline prices. The core PCE, which excludes food and energy
costs, rose at only a 0.4% annual rate, the smallest rise on
record. Such a modest increase gives the Federal Reserve more
“cover” to maintain its key interest rate at essentially zero for
most, if not all, of 2011. With less uncertainty by businesses and
investors as to tax policy this year and next and 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 may 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.

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.
