GROWTH STORY
From needing business space in 20 days with zero credit history to scaling through three units in 18 months
Dejae Equipment and Parts at a glance:
Needed warehouse space within 20 days; no business credit history; traditional spaces required utilities setup and permits
Plug-and-play space with all amenities included and flexible scaling options
Launched in 24 hours; scaled from 370 to 1,400 square feet in 18 months; saved 30-40% versus traditional warehouse
Antwon Bundage had 20 days to launch an equipment distribution company. Not 20 days to find space and then launch; 20 days to do everything. Every traditional warehouse he visited wanted business credit history he didn’t have, utility setups that would take weeks, and permits that required time he couldn’t spare.
Â
Eighteen months later, Antwon has occupied three different units at WareSpace, each one larger than the last, growing from 370 square feet to 1,400. When you’re building a company at breakneck speed, infrastructure needs to keep up or get out of the way.
Before WareSpace The 20-Day Countdown
The 20-Day Countdown
Antwon came from oil distribution, selling for major companies like Chevron, Mobil, and Shell. When he decided to branch out with his own lubricant equipment and maintenance business, speed became everything. He assembled the entire company in 20 days.
Â
Traditional warehouse spaces presented impossible obstacles for someone moving this fast. Landlords wanted business credit history from a company that had existed for barely a week. Spaces came empty, requiring him to set up water, electricity, and permits while trying to launch operations.
Â
The most frustrating barrier was the credit requirement. Having filed with the Secretary of State just days earlier, Antwon had no business credit history. Every landlord treated this as a dealbreaker, regardless of his industry experience.
“I pretty much put this company together in 20 days. So I needed something plug-and-play. When I ran around to a lot of different spots, it was a lot of hoops to jump through as far as not having any business credit or anything like that.”

Making the Switch 24-Hour Launch
24-Hour Launch
WareSpace offered what Antwon needed: plug-and-play infrastructure ready within 24 hours. The 370-square-foot unit came with restrooms, water, internet, and everything required to start operating immediately.
The package receiving service solved another critical problem. With no employees initially, Antwon needed someone on-site to accept deliveries and designated spaces for packages. WareSpace’s manager Crystal helped align him with the right space for his operations.
Where They Are Now Scaling With Speed
Scaling With Speed
Antwon’s growth trajectory shows in his space progression. Four to five months after starting in the 370-square-foot unit, he upgraded to 745 square feet. Last week he moved again, this time to 1,400 square feet—nearly double the previous space.
The amenities have proven essential for his equipment business. Loading docks accommodate everything from box trucks to full 18-wheelers. Pallet stackers and forklifts that he didn’t have to purchase let him maximize vertical storage and load trucks efficiently.
Climate control keeps him working comfortably while building and maintaining lubricant equipment systems. The all-inclusive pricing—saving him an estimated 30-40% compared to traditional warehouse costs—lets him budget precisely every month without surprise utility bills.
“Without having WareSpace, I would have been in a garage and not being able to function like I needed to, not having the appropriate places for my stuff to get delivered. So WareSpace has been a huge portion of me just being successful with my company.”

What They Love Infrastructure Without Obstacles
Infrastructure Without Obstacles
For Antwon, the immediate availability eliminated the biggest barrier to launching fast. No credit checks, no utility setup delays, no permit waiting periods. Operational within 24 hours instead of weeks or months.
The flexibility to scale through three different unit sizes in 18 months means his infrastructure keeps pace with growth without major relocations or lease negotiations.
