August 2, 2022 – (Birmingham, MI) – The Storage Business Owners Alliance [SBOA], the leading national alliance of self-storage owners and operators, announced the addition of two new alliance partners: AI Lean and Cost Segregation Services Inc. (CSSI). These new alliance partners have been vetted by the SBOA team as industry-leading vendors and each will offer an exclusive discount to SBOA members. The SBOA strives to find partners that can help smaller, independent owners and operators save time and money, create operational efficiencies, grow revenue, and increase profitability.
AI Lean
AI Lean is the leading all-in-one technology for processing liens and auctions. The lien and auction process can be painful for self-storage owners. The AI Lean solution enables you to adopt a better way of managing your lien-to-auction process, collect your cash, and take care of your customers at the same time.
Cost Segregation Services Inc. (CSSI)
CSSI has saved commercial property owners and taxpayers millions through accelerated depreciation and repair regulations studies and has completed over 25,000 studies since 2003. CSSI is an engineering – based consulting firm whose strength lies in its ability to consult with owners on maximizing what they can expense on their facilities as repairs and using depreciation strategies on capital items to reduce federal taxes. Cost segregation is the method of re-classifying components of your commercial building from real property to personal property and depreciating the personal property faster. Thus, your current taxable income will be greatly reduced, and your cash flow could increase $50,000 – $80,000 for every million in building costs.
The SBOA Savings Program
“The SBOA keeps our members’ best interest in mind when we source new Alliance partners. We believe the addition of AI Lean and CSSI to our savings program roster will be beneficial for our members,” said SBOA Vice President Jessica Johnson. “I am excited to work with each of these companies and their respective teams. The CSSI team literally saved us millions from the cost segregation studies they conducted on our facilities. And, with the advancement of technology and automation in the self-storage industry, we believe companies like AI Lean truly help create operational efficiencies and cost savings for owners.”
The SBOA is continuing to meet with new potential Alliance partners for their members and hopes to introduce more partnerships soon. SBOA membership is currently free to self-storage owners and operators.
