easyStorage Secures Up to £180m Asset Finance Facility with Arini Capital

What This Means for easyStorage

This facility provides us with long-term, flexible capital to accelerate the rollout of our Drive-Up Self Storage sites and invest in the physical infrastructure that underpins our growth.

At its core, this funding allows us to:

  • Rapidly expand our UK footprint of container-based storage sites
  • Invest in income-generating assets such as storage containers and digital locking systems
  • Support our growing franchise network with high-quality, scalable infrastructure
  • Build a recurring, asset-backed revenue model alongside our existing operations

The structure of the facility is deliberately modular, allowing us to draw down capital in stages as we deploy assets efficiently across the network.

Why This Matters

easyStorage has always been about challenging the traditional self-storage model. With this funding in place, we are now positioned to scale that disruption at pace.

Unlike conventional storage operators, our model combines:

  • A capital-light franchise network
  • A capital-efficient asset deployment strategy
  • A technology-led platform (Vault) driving pricing, bookings and operations

This facility strengthens that model by aligning capital deployment directly with income-generating assets, ensuring disciplined growth and strong underlying unit economics.


Powering the Next Phase of Growth

We have already made significant progress, with a growing number of Drive-Up Self Storage sites open and many more in development. This funding enables us to move faster and more confidently towards our ambition of:

  • Building hundreds of Drive-Up locations across the UK
  • Creating a national infrastructure network of storage capacity
  • Expanding internationally through licensing and joint ventures

It also allows us to deepen our vertical integration, supplying containers and equipment directly to franchisees while generating long-term rental income streams.

A Strong Partnership

We have worked closely with Arini Capital to structure a facility that reflects the realities of scaling an operational business. The agreement provides:

  • Flexibility in deployment
  • Alignment with performance at the asset level
  • Sensible protections and long-term support

This is not just a financing arrangement—it is a partnership designed to support sustainable growth.

Looking Ahead

This milestone marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for easyStorage. With strong foundations, a proven model, and now the capital to scale, we are accelerating towards our goal of becoming:

“the go-to brand for storage by making it an affordable lifestyle choice for our customers.”

We look forward to sharing further updates as we continue to roll out new sites, support our franchisees, and build one of the UK’s most exciting infrastructure-backed growth stories.

If you’re interested in becoming part of the easyStorage journey - whether as a customer, a franchisee, partner, or investor - we’d love to hear from you.
