Tartan Vault Self Storage is offered as a developed brand and franchise platform structured for expansion within the United States self-storage market.

Unlike traditional storage operators, the model is designed around franchising rather than corporate-owned facilities. Franchisees undertake site acquisition, development, and capital expenditure, while the platform owner generates income through franchise fees, recurring royalties, container supply margins, and ongoing operational revenues.

This structure allows for expansion without the significant capital requirements, development timelines, and planning complexities typically associated with brick-and-mortar self-storage projects.

The business is positioned as an asset-light, scalable platform rather than a single-site operation.

Revenue streams include:

• Initial franchise fees
• Recurring franchise royalties
• Container supply / sales margins
• Ongoing platform and operational income

The recurring revenue component provides predictable income characteristics as the franchise network expands, aligning the platform’s growth with franchisee performance.

The United States represents the largest self-storage market globally, with long-term demand driven by residential mobility, downsizing, business usage, and consumer storage behaviour. The sector is traditionally dominated by capital-intensive facility development.

Container-based storage is a widely adopted and expanding segment internationally, yet remains comparatively underpenetrated within the U.S. market. This creates potential positioning advantages for operators pursuing alternative deployment models focused on speed, flexibility, and capital efficiency.

The franchise-led structure enables multi-state expansion without the balance sheet constraints normally associated with direct property ownership.

This opportunity represents the acquisition of a brand and operating platform intended for scale. It may appeal to investors, operators, or strategic buyers seeking entry into the self-storage or franchise sectors via a model designed for network growth rather than property accumulation.
