What It Takes to Own A Storage Franchise
While investing in a Go Mini’s franchise is capital intensive, there are financing avenues available for those who fall short of the liquidity and net worth requirements. On average, a new franchisee will finance anywhere between $500k-$800k. The Small Business Association, as well as various veterans’ and minority organizations, have programs to help, and your Go Mini’s team is prepared to assist in the research.
The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Go Mini’s franchise ranges from $264,107 – $563,665, which includes:
- Initial franchise fee (begins at $45,000, based on a territory population)
- Initial container purchase
