Courier businesses are flourishing as documents and goods get transported around the world in ever increasing volumes. There are few businesses that allow you to startup your business with as little investment as a courier business. At a minimum, all you really need is a reliable car and a cell phone and you can start tomorrow. Of course the realities are often a bit different from theory and after a thorough analysis you may find that buying into a courier franchise makes more sense for you.
When you start your own courier business, you have to build up your customer base and it can be the hardest part. Well, you can deliver packages on the road to existing ones and getting new clients at the same time, can be a challenge too. Courier business is an ideal way for couples to start their own. It can be that you are on the road while your significant other is on the phone getting new clients, route planning and informing clients of the status of their deliveries.
Also, some amazing technologies like the G.P.S. receivers and vehicle tracking devices that integrates with trip planning software to save time and energy are available to assist you. However, other areas like registering your business, getting promotional material prepared and developing branding takes up a lot of your time and resources.
Buying a franchise on the other hand can help you hit the ground running. Uniforms, branded van, clients and a mentoring system are in place right from your very first day of operation. A minimum revenue for the first year of operation is even promised to some franchise systems.
The down-side of purchasing a franchise is that the initial investment will be a lot more, which of course will take time to recoup, but you may find that the "instant income" model which the franchise provides will offset the slow start that you may experience with your own startup business.
