In the past few years, Florida has had some tough luck with the weather and the economy. There have been some large hurricanes that have passed through the state in the past five years that have really devastated a lot of properties and businesses. The economy has also created a large problem for many second home owners who have lost their properties to foreclosure making it one of the biggest foreclosure states in the nation . A couple of businesses that are helping these people and businesses are storage facilities that rent out mini storage buildings to store your items when you lose your home and also the business that sell roll up doors and metal shutters to place on residences and store fronts to prepare for a hurricane.
Storage facility businesses have always had a steady business in the past with people using them for having more items that they can fit at home or a temporary place to put their things while waiting to move into a new home . Now with so many residents having to move out of their homes due to foreclosure, storage facilities are busting at the seams with business where many places are not only full but have long waiting lists. This is one such example of a business that seems to do better , when everyone else is doing worse .
Another area of business that does better when people are having difficult times is emergency based businesses that offer things to help avoid damage to their properties or businesses. One such niche is the business that offer window and door roll up doors and shades to cover the exterior window and doors of a building that could be hit by hurricanes. Several large hurricanes where a lot of homeowners had their houses ruined because their windows and doors broke and the wind and water entered their home saw their neighbors that owned the reinforced steel coverings seemed to survive having any damage to their place . This created a large influx of business for these business that sell hurricane prevention items for the exterior of your home or business.
A majority of of these businesses that have done well never anticipated on improved business due to the hardship of others but it is a simple fact of life and certain things that are necessary in an economic or weather related crisis may not be needed once things settle down again. Therefore, if your storage facility business is booming you may want to expand and grow it larger . This may not be a good idea because as the economy improves and the people get back into homes, your business will slow down also and if you grow it too rapidly you may be stuck with greater storage facilities than you have customers . So, proceed with caution .
Hopefully when the economy gets better and the global warming may begin to reverse itself some of the bad storms it has been producing , the Floridians will be back on the feet .
