Container Finance Options

Container Finance Options

At Willbox we appreciate that shipping containers, though providing many solutions to many problems, are not free. Whether you are looking at setting up up a new self-storage site, looking to add site accommodation to your site, purchasing shipping containers in bulk or even just purchasing a single unit, Willbox has plenty of finance options for you to consider.

Willbox provide an array of financial options to a range of customers. These include:

  • Short or long term shipping container and site accommodation hire
  • Shipping container purchases
  • Rent to buy scheme
  • Fix term rate (new for self-storage sites)

Some options are only available for certain customers which are described below.

Shipping container and site accommodation hire

If you're looking for a flexible and cost-effective option then our container and site accommodation hire options are the perfect solution. Our contracts are flexible, starting with a minimum of 4 weeks rental and our stock is UK wide so you'll never have to wait too long for your delivery. Benefit from short-term or long-term hiring starting from £7 per week for shipping containers, £15 for site accommodation units and £28 for toilet blocks. Bulk discounts are available and the longer the hire period the cheaper the weekly rate becomes.

Shipping container purchases

This is exactly what it says on the tin. You can purchase one or many containers from Willbox and then once the money has been cleared, we would deliver the containers to your chosen destination and they are yours forever.

Shipping container brokerage

As part of the purchasing options, Willbox can also work as your shipping container broker. You can make a bulk order of your desired shipping container sizes and individual specifications and from there we will do all the hard work to get the containers direct to your site. These would be ordered directly from the factory so they arrive exactly as you need them to. The minimum order for these is 30 containers. More information on our brokerage service is available here.

Rent to buy

Willbox's rent to buy scheme is very popular for a number of customers seeking full ownership of shipping containers. Only available to the Self-Storage industry, it allows customers to expand their site or kickstart their self-storage businesses with a less risky option. Our sales team would help you pick the right sizes to suit your site and then you agree to hiring the containers from us for a fixed monthly price over an agreed period of time. This monthly figure is deduced from the overall price and once you proceed with the full payment or reach the end of the agreed period, the accumulated payments reduce the final cost, if any cost is left. It's an ideal way for self-storage customers to acquire a shipping container gradually without the upfront financial burden. You will be able to enjoy the convenience of renting while moving towards ownership.

Fix rate term (new)

Our new fix rate term program offers a seamless approach to acquiring shipping containers. Through this arrangement, you can acquire a container for a specified term, utilising it for your storage or site needs. As the term progresses, a portion of your payments goes towards the container's purchase price. Similar to popular methods of purchasing cars, this gradual accumulation contributes to eventual ownership. At the end of the agreed period, you have the option to purchase the container at a predetermined price. This arrangement provides the advantage of trying the container's functionality before committing to ownership, making it an excellent choice for businesses seeking a practical and financially manageable solution.
