Shipping Containers – A Business in a Box

Brisbane based companies are selling containers to people looking to convert them into a business in ever increasing numbers. The ways in which you can alter them are limited only by your imagination.

Many people are cottoning onto containers’ wide availability, affordability and versatility and are starting to use them when setting up a new business.  You can either rent or buy a container, although buying is often a better choice as second hand containers are very affordable. Depending on the location of the container, you can have plumbing and electricity added to the container.
