Sure. One success story is about a small business that started in a storage unit. A couple had a passion for making handmade crafts. They rented a small, inexpensive storage unit to store their materials and finished products.

Eventually, they were able to move into a proper storefront, but they credit the storage unit with giving them an affordable start and a place to keep inventory organized during the early days.
