From 8 employees to 81 and 1,100% revenue growth, how Optimized Waste Removal scaled with WareSpace

Once the business started growing, Micah cobbled together whatever he could find: his parents' garage for storage, a mini warehouse for overflow, and free office space from a charity, three separate locations to keep costs near zero.

Receiving shipments was a nightmare. Without a loading dock they paid extra fees, then rushed everything into storage that wasn't even climate controlled.

What jumped out wasn't the facility, it was the people. WareSpace gave Optimized Waste Removal access to conference rooms, loading docks, and equipment they couldn't afford as a bootstrapped startup, the infrastructure of a $20,000-a-month facility for significantly less.

All-inclusive pricing made financial planning predictable, and answers came within minutes whenever a problem came up.

In under three years, the team grew from 8 people to 81, with month-over-month revenue up over 1,100%. They've expanded their space three times and added a private office, all without lease renegotiations.

24/7 security supports a team working all hours, and management stays actively engaged in tenants' success rather than just collecting rent.

Before WareSpace, Optimized Waste Removal was spread across Texas. The company serves properties around the state, and its operations were distributed wherever Micah Stateson could find free or low-cost space. Being that spread out is what started the search for a new warehouse. There was no single place the business ran from, and Micah says WareSpace filled that gap and gave the team everything it needed and more.

Micah describes the space as a competitive advantage. He says it has lowered both the company's warehouse costs and its inventory costs, while giving the team the equipment and supplies they would otherwise only have in a far more expensive facility of their own.

Consistency matters to him as much as cost. In nearly three years at the building, he has watched the service keep improving, which gives a fast-growing team one less thing to worry about.

Micah credits that growth to his partners as well as his team. He says results on that scale don't happen without the right partners, and he counts WareSpace as one of them. He describes the people at the building as amazing partners to work with.

His advice to other owners is simple. He says he cannot recommend WareSpace enough to a small business looking to grow.
