A: Brand licensing is not a franchise, it is a hybrid method that circumvents 90% of the hassles associated with franchising. Even the leanest franchise can cost a franchisee at least $100,000 in start up costs while our licensing program allows you to begin with as little as $700 up front.
Franchising is complete solution that outlines every aspect of the business and how it must be run. Our licensing program allows you to operate your business as you normally would as long as you continue to meet our service requirements and commitment to quality. This means providing experienced and trained movers, moving equipment and abiding by our pricing and set rates.

Q: How many orders per month are received in my area?
