Features of a Move Cheap® franchise include:

1. What is the initial franchise fee?
The initial franchise fee is $40,000.
2. How much does it cost to open a Move Cheap® Franchise?
The average initial investment to open a single Move Cheap® location ranges from $65,000 to $83,900. These costs include franchise fee, lease, equipment and fixtures, miscellaneous supplies, opening inventory, advertising, signs, and working capital.
3. What type of location will I need?
The typical Move Cheap® Retail Location is often an existing “free standing” building, or in a shopping center. In both cases, high traffic is a requirement. The typical size of the building is 800 to 1000 sq ft with a parking lot large enough to handle the capacity of customer and employee vehicles along with a small to medium fleet of rental moving trucks and mobile storage units.
4. Is financing available?
Move Cheap® does not finance. Bank and SBA loan finance programs may be an alternative to financially qualified franchisees to finance their Move Cheap® location.
5. Will I receive training from the company?
Yes. The Move Cheap® system provides an initial 3 week training program along with complete operations manuals. In addition, Move Cheap® will also provide ongoing support for its franchisees.
6. What is the royalty?
The on-going royalty is 6% of on-going sales. Sales tax is not subject to royalty.
7. What about advertising?
Building national and local recognition of the Move Cheap® brand and reputation is an essential objective of this system. We require that Move Cheap® franchise locations spend no less than 1% of sales on advertising in local markets using approved materials
8. How long will it take to open my store?
This depends on several variables: selecting a favorable location for your business, zoning, arranging financing if necessary, completing training and the like. Under favorable conditions, you may be able to open your store in as little as 60-90 days.
9. What is the Term of the Franchise Agreement?
The term of the Franchise Agreement is 10 years, with a 10-year renewal at your option.
10. What about continuing guidance?
In addition to your initial local training and opening assistance, you will receive ongoing operational support through qualified operations personnel and periodic publications as well as information or bulletins which spotlight important events. Also, you will have access to a franchisee website portal to give you up to date information and news. You will also receive visits from your Development Agent who will consult with you and offer useful advice and counsel on such system elements as quality, customer service, product information, advertising, training, communication, promotion, and other business information.
