The Business Model
A Professional Moving Business For The Business Professional
We've already done all of the heavy lifting for you by developing a rock solid business model that delivers superior customer service in the Moving Industry for you to own and manage. Our current 200 franchisees didn't purchase their franchise to drive trucks or lift furniture, they manage their own TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® moving business with the training and ongoing support they receive from the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®'s home office. First and foremost our franchisees are business people that have the desire to own and manage a business that is ranked the best in its class with a long profitable future.
The moving industry in Canada is a multi-billion dollar industry with an opportunity for you to carve out your share of the profits operating your own TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchise. The Canadian moving industry offers our franchisees a renewable revenue stream because 16 per cent of Canadian families move on average every year according to Statistics Canada and residential moving is only one of the many revenue streams from which our franchisees generate sales.
There are approximately 10 million families in Canada according to the latest Statistics Canada Census, which equates to 1.6 million residential moves every year in Canada. When you apply an average moving cost to the 1.6 Million moves that occur every year in Canada, it equates to a $4-billion industry just in the residential moving sector.
Statistics Canada further breaks these residential moving statistics into two (2) categories, "Regional or Local moves" (i.e. Toronto to Oakville) and "Long Distance moves" (i.e. Mississauga to Calgary). Canadian Association of Movers estimates that 80 per cent of all moves are "Regional or Local". When you estimate a national average cost per move it equates to a $1.28-billion revenue stream in "Regional or Local" moves, Our TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchisees specialize in this "Regional / Local" moving category.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is the first and largest local moving franchise system in North America. Our franchises offer customers a comprehensive array of moving services - whether it's moving one appliance, an entire household or a business. Locations also offer packing and unpacking services in addition to selling boxes and an array of packing supplies.
We have grown to become one of the largest moving companies in North America because of our high referral rate, strong market identity, dedication to customer service, and moving expertise. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® provides franchisees with highly efficient, proven systems across our franchise network. We are committed to enhancing and further developing our system to meet changes in the business and to remain an industry leader.
