London - 24 March 2026

easyStorage, part of the easy family of brands and one of Europe’s leading self-storage operators, has agreed an asset-backed facility of up to £180m with alternative credit manager Arini.

The facility will support easyStorage’s continued expansion across the UK, funding a disciplined national rollout of its drive-up and containerised storage sites, as well as the acquisition of income-generating storage assets. The company has identified a strong pipeline across key UK markets and is ahead of its 2026 rollout target, having already opened nine new sites in the first two months of the year.

easyStorage currently operates 45 storage sites and is well positioned to benefit from industry dynamics, including growing demand for self-storage space from both residential and commercial customers. Its modular, asset-light model enables rapid deployment and scalable capacity expansion, supporting efficient growth while maintaining capital discipline.

Founded in 2017 by Tim Slesinger and Nigel Dawson, and backed by easyGroup, owner of the easy family of brands, easyStorage provides flexible and cost-effective storage solutions designed to reduce both cost and complexity compared to traditional self-storage.

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.”

Newmark acted as sole financial advisor to easyStorage.
