About ReadySpaces

Founded in 2016 by Jon Zimmerman and Kevin Petrovic, ReadySpaces provides flexible warehousing and storage solutions tailored for small to medium-sized businesses. The company was established to address a gap in the market between traditional self-storage units and large-scale industrial warehouses. Jon Zimmerman, with a background in the self-storage industry and theatrical production, identified the need for spaces larger than typical storage but smaller than conventional warehouses. Kevin Petrovic brought his experience in scaling startups, including the peer-to-peer car sharing service FlightCar, which he co-founded.

ReadySpaces operates on a co-warehousing model, offering private, secure industrial workspaces that range from 200 to 5,000 square feet. This model allows businesses to move out of a garage or small storage unit and into a professional commercial space with included amenities. The company serves a diverse client base, including e-commerce businesses, contractors, distributors, light manufacturers, and even Fortune 500 companies needing localized space. Revenue is generated through monthly lease payments for the spaces, which come with flexible, short-term options.

The service provides an all-inclusive, flat-rate pricing structure that bundles essential operational amenities. Each facility is equipped with shared resources such as loading docks, forklifts, pallet jacks, building-wide Wi-Fi, and power outlets in each unit. Beyond the physical space, tenants have access to communal areas like conference rooms, kitchens, and lounges, fostering a community of entrepreneurs. Security is a key feature, with facilities offering 24/7 access control, video surveillance, and secure, private units. This turn-key approach enables small businesses to access enterprise-level logistics infrastructure without the significant capital investment typically required for such equipment and facilities.
