In short: Self-storage businesses are valued on their trading profit, which depends on occupancy, average rate per square foot and operating costs, and on the property: freehold sites are worth more than short leases. Container sites need less capital but may have planning and security limits; building-based sites cost more but command higher rates. Check business rates, insurance, customer agreements and competition nearby. Fraser Bond doesn't broker businesses, but can help assess London sites and premises.
