Self Storage And The American Dream We all have visions of what the American Dream is. A white picket fence surrounding a lush green yard, where our children are playing in the sprinkler as Bubba the bulldog chases them around barking in pure joy. The Jeep Liberty and Toyota Camry are parked in the two car garage of the four bedroom, two story Cape, with a fire pit and patio in the back yard, where Dad is out grilling hot dogs on his new Weber grill, for everyone to enjoy in the spring time sun. While everyone’s idea of the American Dream may be a little different, most can agree that it’s what we all strive to attain. In the not so distant past, America was the land of “milk and honey” where anything we wanted was within our reach, and all of our dreams were at our fingers tips. It seems like only yesterday, spending the weekend on the lake in our new 16 foot Wellcraft boat was a common occurrence, and putting an in-law apartment addition above the garage for Grandma was the norm.
VAT, self storage and the application of the capital goods scheme Capital Goods Scheme meets self storage The Capital Goods Scheme (CGS) provides for the adjustment of the VAT recovered by a business on land or buildings bearing capital expenditure of over £250,000. Adjustments are made over a 10-year period. Where a property owner had not previously opted to tax its supplies of self storage facilities under the previous regime, the property owner may have incurred VAT that would otherwise have fallen within the CGS, yet was unable to recover it as the building had been used for the exempt supply of self storage. As the supply of self storage facilities are now treated as standard rated, a property owner who previously made exempt supplies will now be in a position to benefit from the CGS. Capital Goods Scheme and smaller self storage providers So as to achieve its aim of taxing all self storage providers on the same basis, HMRC has permitted smaller business with buildings worth less than the usual £250,000 threshold to opt into the scheme.

Economic Security Gets an Average Grade New Jersey lawmakers could be doing much more to improve the economic security of their constituents, according to a state-by-state scorecard from Wider Opportunities for Women(WOW). The state received a ‘C’ for policy choices made by legislators that directly affect families’ and seniors’ economic security, or their ability to afford basic needs like housing and food. The scorecard examined 85 policy choices. New Jersey ranked seventh among the states and the District of Columbia, which means a ‘C’ grade isn’t too harsh when considering the nation as a whole. “(New Jersey) received the second-highest number of A’s, but it also received a lot of F’s and D’s,” said WOW Acting President and CEO Shawn McMahon. The state saw grades in the ‘A’ range for expanding family leave, as well as its policy of allowing a resident to freeze their credit scores when there’s the potential for identity theft or fraud, but New Jersey received failing grades for a lack of sound sick day policies.
Moving Self Storage Like most people, I have moved around quite a lot in my years on this earth. Whether it be downsizing, temporary moves, moving in a hurry, relocating entirely or just moving across town I have literally done it all!! One thing that has really been helpful in all the many moves that I have experienced is the use of a self storage unit to help make my move easier! Honestly if it were not for self storage units, I would have been in a big pinch at some points while moving. Especially when it comes down to deadlines and when leases are up and I have not quite been able to get all my stuff organized and into the new house, using a self storage unit for about a month helps me to get organized and be able to leisurely move my personal contents on my own accord. When moving locally form town to town during a downsize situation, a unit provided by the local self storage facility is extremely helpful in so many ways!

SELF storage operator BiG Storage is eyeing expansion this year after securing a £11m refinancing deal. Self storage operator BiG Storage is eyeing expansion this year after securing a £11m refinancing deal. The Nantwich company has a £5m turnover and is led by serial entrepreneur Andrew Donaldson. It current has six sites in Chester, Warrington, Wilmslow, Macclesfield, Lancaster and Morecambe but hopes to open more by summer. That is on the back of completing a five-year refinancing deal with Allied Irish Bank. It replaces the previous funding agreement BiG had with NatWest. Chief executive Mr Donaldson said: “Our existing funding was due to run out a year from now. “We have got a very competitive rate and this refinancing gives us a firm footing to look at expanding in the near future. “We are certainly going to consider expanding after the summer and possibly getting a new site in the north west. “Summer is our busiest trading period so we will consider our position after the dust has settled.” His first storage business was Rent-a-Space, which opened its first warehouse in Bolton in 1999.
