Copper Storage Management (CSM), a third-party management company that specializes in automated self-storage operation, has aligned its business contract with Small Business Administration (SBA) standards. SBA approval of the company’s management agreement should help facilitate acceptance of customer loan applications, CSM officials said in a press release.

“The self-storage industry is continuing to grow with no sign of slowing down. Many people want to own and operate self-storage and use SBA loans to fund their facilities,” said Terry Campbell, CEO of CSM. “Having an SBA-approved, third-party management agreement means our agreement aligns with SBA rules and can help owners and operators achieve ownership.”

Founded in 2019, CSM oversees more than 150 self-storage facilities nationwide. Its management team has about 100 years of combined industry experience. Company services include call answering, collections, customer service, day-to-day bookkeeping, lien sales, marketing and more.
