If there’s one thing Australian’s are known for worldwide apart from our easy-going nature and good sense of humour, it’s our coffee. Over the years we’ve developed the craft of coffee, making it into an art with some of the best brews in the world. So, it should come as no surprise that we Aussies love to start our day off with a cuppa – or two or more! It’s estimated that around 75% or nearly 19 million Australian’s consume at least one cup of coffee per day.

That being said, trying to get your foot in the door of the coffee business can be a difficult and expensive task. With rent prices ever increasing, the rental costs or purchase price of a shop can be one of the biggest barriers to entry for those with dreams of starting their own coffee shop. The last thing you want to do is start your business under a massive loan putting constant pressure on you and your business to perform well to keep going.

There’s no need to get disheartened! There’s a much more cost-effective way for you to start your own coffee shop, that’s with a shipping container café. The container itself and the coffee machine will be your two largest investments necessary to start your coffee business. With such comparatively low overhead prices, you’ll be able to start your business of on a much better financial foot, giving you the space to focus more on doing what you love than stressing over massive rental costs or mortgage repayments.
