1. Background
What do you do when you have the space or property other people are looking for or need?
Simple, advertise it on Spareground and generate an income from it.
Particularly in the current climate of economical uncertainty, an additional source of income generated from letting out what you already have, is a welcome boost.
Spareground® is a one-stop advertising point for business or individuals who can offer the rental of accommodation, parking, land, garden space, storage facilities, car sharing spaces and so on to cater for any sporting, leisure or working purpose.
Throughout the UK, there are sporting and leisure-based events occurring on a daily basis. The list is endless but includes events and activities such as sports matches, tournaments, races, regattas, music concerts, theatre, exhibitions, agricultural shows and visits to tourist and historical sites. Accommodation or parking near such events is always in high demand and those who can add to this resource will be highly sought after.
Additionally, parking in cities is becoming increasingly difficult for workers and visitors alike.
The issue of storage is also paramount in the UK, whether for those wishing to store items in between house moves, or those wishing to store sports equipment, caravans, machinery or other vehicles or bulk items. A small shed or garage advertised on Spareground® could provide someone with the solution to their storage needs.
Those who can offer garden space or land are also set to benefit from listing it on Spareground®. More and more people are now keen to grow their own food produce or keep some small livestock and those with even the smallest of free garden space could provide someone with this opportunity. Larger land facilities either business, agricultural or private can offer even more options to users.
Spareground® is completely free and can be used by both businesses and individuals.
We believe this is the first website solely aimed at the advertising of all “spare ground”, including accommodation, parking, storage and land rentals, aimed mainly but not exclusively at the leisure market.
