Virginia Storage LLC | Application Preview
Virginia Storage LLC is applying for government grants to launch a storage facility for RVs, boats, and vehicles in Northern Virginia. The funding will be used for essential groundwork, including clearing land, leveling, gravel installation, fencing, electrical setup, and a security system.
The business plan involves initially establishing this location and then expanding by acquiring more properties and potentially buying out existing storage companies in the area. The long-term vision includes creating a comprehensive network of storage solutions, ranging from RV and boat storage to specialized facilities for various sectors, including the military and logistics.
The applicant emphasizes a strong commitment to success and parallels their ambition to that of Service Corporation International's significant market presence in the funeral home industry. They aim to carve out a similarly expansive niche in the storage sector, given the increasing demand highlighted by the prevalence of hoarding in the U.S.
The competition includes established players like Extra Space Storage, Fort Knox Self Storage, and Life Storage. However, the applicant believes their intense drive and unique vision position them to outpace competitors. By focusing on efficient operations and scalable growth, they aspire to create a national chain akin to U-HAUL, necessitating initial support to kickstart their journey.

Business Plan
My plan is to purchase more lots once we get a good grasp on this business, and then expand even bigger. The ultimate goal would be to begin purchasing other storage businesses in the community and make them our own, and eventually hiring thousands of employees to run the locations with regional managers. Because I am laser focused on succeeding. This might seem like a small business, but the real plan is the same layout as Service Corporation International (SCI). They have bought-out most funeral homes in the U.S., and have made an empire. My plan is to do the same with storage. Yes, we are starting small with RVs, boats, and vehicles; but big picture will be storage units, marine harbor docking, Amazon vehicle storage, semi-truck storage, storage for the military and U.S. government, etc. America has over 14 million hoarders, and this business is great for the U.S. This will take time however; it will definitely be worth the investment long-term.

Self Identified Competition
Top 3 competitors in Virginia are Extra Space Storage, Fort Knox Self Storage, and Life Storage. I am different from my competitors because of my vision and ambition. My competitors' growth is not nearly what they should be. This is what sets us apart. With monthly storage payments coming in (and minimal employee upkeep expenses), my business will have the ability to grow exponentially. The ultimate goal is to be a national chain similar to U-HAUL. Everyone has to start somewhere and this is my start. I succeeded with over 21 years in the military, and I will succeed at this. I just need a start and minimal backing.
