How Changes in the Weather and the Economy Have Affected the US
In recent years, Florida has had a bit of hard luck with the weather and the economy.
There have been some large hurricanes that have passed through the state in the past 5 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 homes to foreclosure making it one of the largest amounts of foreclosure states in the country.
A couple of businesses that are helpful for these two scenarios 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 put over 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 things that they can fit at home or a temporary place to store their items in between moving into a new place.
Now with so many Americans being forced out of their homes due to foreclosure, storage facilities are busting at the seams with business where most of them are not only full but have long waiting lists.
This is one of those examples of a business that seems to do better, when everyone else is doing worse.
Another area of business that does better when people experience more trying times is emergency based businesses that supply items to help prevent damage to their homes or businesses.
One such niche is the business that sell window and door roll up doors and shades to cover the exterior window and doors of a home that may be prone to hurricanes.
Several large hurricanes where many people had their places ruined because their windows and doors broke and the wind and water got into their home saw their neighbors that had the reinforced steel coverings seemed to survive having any damage to their property.
This created a large influx of business for these business that sell hurricane prevention items for the exterior of your home or business.
Most of these businesses that have succeeded never intended on doing better 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 level off as well and if you expand too quickly you may be stuck with more storage facilities than you have customers.
So, proceed with caution.
Hopefully when the economy improves and the global warming slowly reduces to slow down some of the horrific storms it has been producing, the residents of Florida will be back on the feet.
