Storage Business Opportunities For The Organized Franchisee

Written by: Candice Clem

Article Overview: For the left-brained, super-organized business professional, the idea of clutter around the workplace or the home is a grim thought indeed, so a welcome idea for a new business opportunity may be a storage business. Storage franchises are much more than just storage rental facilities, there are franchises available for everything from closet systems to garage organization, and for the right entrepreneur with a knack for organization, these franchises can really help you clean up.

Storage Business Opportunities For The Organized Franchisee

It seems that people tend to fall into one of two categories: they are either organized or they aren’t. Interestingly, this difference between people can tell a lot about what kind of business opportunities they might be best suited to pursue. For those who are naturally inclined to a high degree of order, organization, and cleanliness, a storage franchise is likely to be a great way to go, and below are a list of some of the best choices within that category.

Slide-Lok Garage Interiors and Closet Systems
With 30 years of business success under their belt, Slide-Lok has become one of the nation’s leaders in the storage and organization equipment field, producing the finest cabinets and Slat-Wall storage systems available. Their patented dovetail design and lifetime product warrantee are praised by customers ranging from everyday homeowners to Bob Vila, and they have become an officially licensed product of NASCAR. And franchisees love the franchise too, not just for the exceptional sliding drawer systems that their customers love so much, but also for the franchisor’s excellent initial training, ongoing sales support, and continued business referrals.

ShelfGenie
There aren’t too many organization franchises that would freely describe their product as elegant, but ShelfGenie does. People of all ages and demographics benefit from the installation of shelves that slide out for easy access, but this work at home business and its product are particularly useful for seniors, who appreciate the added ease of use provided by ShelfGenie. For the franchisee, though, this business makes things much simpler as well. Their online WishPortal Franchise Management System provides real-time dashboards and reports to keep franchisees abreast of everything going on in their operations and give them an easy way to stay on top of what needs to be done next.

ClosetMaid
One of the messiest places in a person’s home is often the closet, but ClosetMaid franchisees change all that. Without needing any prior construction experience, because the shelving systems are so easy to construct and install with a little initial training, work from home franchisees design and sell custom closet-organization systems specific to each client’s closet and storage needs. The brand is one of the most recognizable in the industry, and is surprisingly one of the most cost-effective for both franchisee and client as well. With a total investment of only $25,000, the franchisee pays far less than anyone in a comparable operation, and the service and equipment costs customers up to 30% less than those of the competition. This is the franchise opportunity in which quality and value meet.

PremiereGarage
By far, PremiereGarage is the nation’s leading seller and installer of garage safety and organizational goods. Specializing in floor coatings and state-of-the-art garage shelving systems that are well built and easily installed, this turnkey home based business is the perfect gateway into the home remodeling industry, one of the most constant and lucrative markets available. And the franchisor works hard to help franchisees succeed from startup and initial training all the way throughout the life of the franchise, providing technical help and support, including professional-grade marketing materials whenever they’re needed.

One of the best ways to help find the franchise business that’s right for you is to simply look at what you naturally do best and enjoy doing. If you’re a natural organizer, helping put other people’s homes in order could be both a rewarding and lucrative business option. There are plenty of people who could think of many things they’d rather do than organizing their garages and closets; they never do it, which means that there is plenty of work for those who are willing to do it for them.

You can see my Bank statement......... - Hi there, Today we are bombarded with 'Business Opportunities' by the multitude. I believe it is possible to earn a lot through the internet, but it is hard work. Nobody gets it very easy on a long term basis.

The whole industry is growing rapidly. What is your experience? Is there any regulation in presenting the 'Bank Statement' or other statements from 'Click Bank' etc ?
