BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
This courier franchise started in 1983 in New-Zealand and today the company is franchised in New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Northern Ireland and South Africa. This unique franchise system has won many awards since establishment including finalist for Franchisors of the year and Franchiser Newcomer of the year in 2011 in South Africa.

A Regional Franchise was recently established in the Garden Route and Courier Franchises are now for sale in this area. Your courier franchise will be purchased from the Regional Franchisee who owns and operates the depot and office facility in the region. Youâ??ll need to supply a long wheel based white van and have it sign-written in the franchise insignia.

There are other costs associated with becoming a courier too, such as uniforms, marketing collateral and communication equipment. A detailed list of these costs is provided prior to signing the franchise agreement. Approved suppliers are in place to provide signage, uniforms and all the main items a courier needs to get started.

The Courier Franchisees purchase an exclusive territory from which to develop income. The key to building income within a courier territory lies in the Franchise Saturation Marketing technique. You need to be prepared to call on prospective customers in your area to drop off brochures and flyers and gradually gather information about their freight needs.

The information gathered becomes a lead and is followed up by the sales representative (who is paid for by the RF) on your behalf. As you become more confident you may choose to make sales directly to customers yourself. All ongoing sales of prepaid labels and satchels are placed directly through the courier.

Courier Franchisees (CF) come from many different backgrounds and previous occupations, but the key requirements are an outgoing personality and the desire to succeed as an independent business person. The work is enjoyable, offering a healthy lifestyle and regular interaction with your customers on a daily basis.

Life as a Courier Franchisee involves long hours and it is physically demanding work but the financial rewards can be very good indeed. For those who follow the system and are friendly and outgoing success is assured.

A typical projection based on pick ups per day can be provided to serious buyers but one must remember that nothing can be guaranteed and the income derived from this business all depends on what you are willing to put in.

The franchise model is based on the outcome that they do not want a CF to earn less than R 20 000 per month. Typical monthly expenses will be stationery, telephone, insurance, satellite tracking, fuel and vehicle maintenance.

This franchise works on a 3 tier model:

Master Franchise for the country
Regional Franchise (Garden Route)
Courier Franchises â?? currently 8 areas available in the Garden Route
