Self-storage containers financed for a second site

Where it left the business

The client secured £35,000 of asset finance to fund the self-storage containers for their second site, allowing them to replicate their established business model and continue their expansion. Funding was completed within 7 days, providing the client with the capital required to progress the new site without having to rely solely on their existing business's cash flow.

The ambition

A client wanted to open a second self-storage site through a newly formed business, replicating the successful model used at their existing site. However, as the new business had no trading history, they wanted to secure funding on competitive terms comparable with those achieved for their first site.

How the finance was structured

We reviewed the client's existing trading performance and the proposed expansion to demonstrate the strength of the underlying business model. Using our lender network, we identified a suitable asset finance solution for the newly formed business, providing £35,000 of funding over 60 months at an indicative 12.9% APR. The application was structured around the proven performance of the existing site and the client's plans for the new location.

What it made possible

The client secured £35,000 of asset finance to fund the self-storage containers for their second site, allowing them to replicate their established business model and continue their expansion. Funding was completed within 7 days, providing the client with the capital required to progress the new site without having to rely solely on their existing business's cash flow.

  1. STEP 1

    A conversation with a broker

    You talk to a real Sorbus broker about the business, the purpose and what is affordable. No application at this stage.

  2. STEP 2

    Credit placement

    If you choose to go further, we prepare the case and decide which lenders on our panel of 150+ are worth approaching.

  3. STEP 3

    Lender assessment

    The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.

  4. STEP 4

    Documentation

    If a lender offers terms and you accept, we help coordinate agreements and payout paperwork with you.

Every step after the first is optional. You can stop after the conversation. Sorbus is a broker, not a lender.
