When starting a marquee hire business one big consideration is where are you going to store all of these nice shiny (hopefully DIY) marquees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well the good news is initially you don\u2019t need a lot of storage space, in a single garage you could fit 5 typical marquees including associated equipment. Any more than that and it will become difficult to work around. A couple of caveats to that \u2013 it assumes that you\u2019ve got some racking to put everything on (neatly or in our storage bags\/boxes) and it assumes you\u2019re not storing any furniture. Furniture will often take up as much room as the marquees themselves so choosing whether to buy or cross-hire initially is a big early decision to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another alternative I like is to use a trailer for storage, the reason for this is you\u2019re not having to unload and load it every time it just stays there between jobs. Obviously only suitable for when you\u2019re small and starting out but a handy time-saver especially if you\u2019re starting it as a part-time project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you do not need is a state-of-the-art modern industrial building, they cost a lot in rent and rates and you can get more for your money renting a barn or container space in a remote area. Once you\u2019ve established your market then this is the sort of storage that we\u2019d recommend, you just need somewhere large and dry to keep everything in with good access for your van\/trailer\/lorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quite how the government expect businesses to grow us out of recession when business rates for industrial units are often more than the rent I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
