Customers have come to rely on Speedy Freight for same-day courier services year-round. The company is made up of a network of franchisees, all of whom manage their own branch in a specified area. The brand is still offering these kinds of franchise opportunities to aspiring entrepreneurs. Would you be willing to take one?
The team at Speedy Freight is always ready to help. Customers can choose from same-day and emergency options 365 days per year. Such is the company’s speed, that in some circumstances, a client can request a courier and see them arrive within just sixty minutes. This efficiency is invaluable, particularly to businesses in the event that their normal courier is unexpectedly unavailable.
The brand has a fleet of delivery vehicles that encompasses small to large-sized vans as well as lorries and specialist types. These are never loaded with more than a single customer’s goods at any one time. This enables the company to guarantee that the items will be delivered safely and soundly and in the exact same condition. As a result of this, clients in need of transportation for high-value goods often come to Speedy Freight first.
If you invest in a Speedy Freight franchise, you won’t be required to act as a courier. Your role will be to manage your branch and ensure that collections and deliveries are correctly carried out. You’ll also be expected to interact with customers and market your services in your assigned area – a geographically-defined territory that’s exclusive to you. This exclusivity means that no other franchisee will be able to profit from the business opportunities within it.
Speedy Freight will help you set-up. The company’s dedicated franchise team will give you assistance during your search for an appropriate property. This is normally a small office. Once this has been finalised, you’ll inherit all of the existing Speedy Freight clients within the area and be given access to the brand’s systems. This will include its national accounts database and route planning technology. These will make it far easier for you to run your shipping franchise.
It goes without saying that operating mailing and shipping franchises like these requires an understanding of logistics and a managerial background. If you fit this bill, you should make Speedy Freight aware of your interest. Don’t forget, you’ll be fully trained if you’re accepted so your experience doesn’t need to be extensive.
You’ll find that a Speedy Freight franchise costs a minimum of £38,500. If you agree to pay this, you’ll receive a comprehensive package that includes training, ongoing support, marketing materials and much more.
Keep in mind that this figure doesn’t include the price of renting an appropriate office space, nor the working capital you’ll need during your first months in operation.
Secure the funding needed to start your shipping franchise business by going to a bank and asking for a loan. Remember, as you’ll be using Speedy Freight’s tried and tested business model, you’re likely to be able to get a significant amount of capital, subject to status.
Speedy Freight will give you four full weeks worth of all-inclusive training. This will take place on-site and go over subjects such as the company’s systems and best practices as well as the logistics of running a shipping franchise. Once this is completed, you’ll be free to establish your business, but you’ll always be able to rely on support from the brand’s head office. You’ll be able to call or email and get expert guidance and advice whenever you need it. They will even handle all your invoicing!
It also shouldn’t be forgotten that as part of the package you purchase, you’ll get office furniture, a suitable computer and bespoke software. These will enable you to get up and running as soon as possible.
What marketing support will Speedy Freight provide? You’ll receive branded materials and stationery in addition to a personalised website.
