About SafeLease
SafeLease is redefining how insurance is designed, priced, and distributed inside leased real estate. The company has built a vertically integrated insurance and software platform that embeds tenant protection and commercial coverage directly into self-storage operations, transforming insurance from a low-value add-on into a scalable, recurring revenue engine for operators.
By combining purpose-built software with in-house underwriting and insurance program design, SafeLease treats insurance as a configurable product, enabling flexibility across coverage, pricing, and contracts while driving measurable NOI improvement and operational efficiency for customers. Today, SafeLease’s platform is used by more than 4,000 properties nationwide and has become a core part of how operators manage risk and monetize their tenant base.
Founded four years ago, SafeLease is profitable, capital-efficient, and backed by an enduring family office capital base. Having established a leadership position in self-storage, the company is now investing further in product innovation and insurance expansion to extend its platform into adjacent commercial property verticals (manufactured housing, light industrial, hangars, marinas, etc.), with a clear ambition to build the leading insurance infrastructure for leased real estate.
