Self-storage operator easyStorage has agreed an asset-backed facility of up to £180m with Arini to support its continued expansion across the UK.
The facility will be used to fund the national rollout of its drive-up and containerised storage sites, as well as the acquisition of income-generating storage assets.
The company, which currently operates 45 storage sites, has identified a strong pipeline of UK sites and has already opened nine new sites in the first two months of 2026.
Tim Slesinger, chief executive officer of easyStorage, said: “This strategic financing marks an important milestone for easyStorage. Partnering with Arini provides us with the flexibility and scale of capital required to accelerate our growth across the UK while remaining true to our mission of making self-storage simpler, more accessible, and more affordable for our customers. We are excited to partner with Arini as we enter our next phase of growth.”
Nabil Aquedim, head of real estate and asset-backed strategies at Arini, added: “We are proud to be the strategic partner of choice for Tim and his team at easyStorage, supporting the expansion of their footprint in the UK self-storage market. This transaction reflects the strength of our asset-based finance strategy and our proven ability to partner with high quality businesses to deliver tailored financing solutions that support long-term growth.”
