Fear of leasing → Confidence gained in 7 days

It all started when we kept running into the same issue: no warehouse solutions for small businesses.

The options were either a storage unit (good luck getting deliveries) or a 5,000+ SF commitment with a lease longer than most marriages. There was nothing in between.

So we built WareSpace. But along the way, we realized something: even when we had the perfect space, business owners were terrified of getting burned by warehouse leasing. They'd seen too many friends get hit with surprise fees, confusing lease terms, and maintenance nightmares.

That's why we created something we probably should have built first: a free email course that teaches you everything about warehouse leasing - whether you choose us or go elsewhere.

The Course We Wish Existed When We Started

It all started when our founders, Levi and Joseph, were working at a traditional CRE company doing leasing. For years, they kept getting the same calls: "Do you have a small warehouse for my business?"

The options were either a storage unit (good luck getting deliveries) or a 5,000+ SF commitment with a lease longer than most marriages. There was nothing in between, and they had nothing to offer these small businesses.

So we built WareSpace. But along the way, we realized something: even when we had the perfect space, business owners were terrified of getting burned by warehouse leasing. They'd seen too many friends get hit with surprise fees, confusing lease terms, and maintenance nightmares.

That's why we created something we probably should have built first: a free email course that teaches you everything about warehouse leasing - whether you choose us or go elsewhere.

So we created our No B.S. Guide to Leasing Warehouse Space: a free 7-day email course that covers:

Day 1: How to choose the right space (size, features, location)
Day 2: Lease jargon decoded (NNN, CAM, and all the rest)
Day 3: Real costs vs. advertised prices
Day 4: Maintenance responsibilities and surprises
Day 5: Red flags that should send you running
Day 6: Complete leasing checklist
Day 7: How to skip most of these headaches entirely

The goal isn't to sell you on WareSpace (though we'd love to earn your business). It's to make sure no entrepreneur gets taken advantage of by landlords who speak in riddles and hide fees in the fine print.

From Driveway Disaster to Nationwide Distribution

"We have one car garage at home, and so it was just absolutely covered in boxes and tape and wine, and it just wasn't working, and so we knew we needed something fast." - Kelly Bertog, Yours Non-Alcoholic Wine

Kelly's story started with a decision that would haunt him for months: breaking down 10 pallets of wine in his driveway and hand-carrying each 37-pound case into his house one by one. When holiday orders exploded, their garage became a cardboard fortress that made parking impossible.

Now? Kelly operates from two WareSpace units, handling everything from single-bottle direct-to-consumer orders to multi-pallet wholesale shipments. "We can do the direct consumer stuff, make sure it goes out each and every day... we have really everything we need here to get packages out the door from a single bottle to a thousand bottles at a time."

We're changing that conversation - starting with education.

Whether you tour WareSpace or lease somewhere else, our email course will help you avoid the traps that catch most small business owners.
