How to Start a UNITS Mobile Storage Franchise

Historically, the moving and storage business has been dominated by fixed storage location service providers. UNITS Moving and Portable Storage is changing the way people move and store their personal belongings in markets throughout the country. Simply stated, convenience is the number one driver at UNITS.

We have built a business platform that takes the hassle out of moving and storing household belongings. No more renting a U-Haul and racing the clock to load up your belongings, deliver them to a storage facility, unload what you just loaded and then do it all over again when you are ready to retrieve your property.

At UNITS Moving and Portable Storage, we deliver our State-of-the-Art portable moving and storage containers to our customers door step. They load their belongings into the container at their convenience and we pick up the container and deliver it to their final destination or store it in our climate controlled storage facility. It’s a simple, convenient and no hassle alternative to fixed location storage facilities.

Our Unique business model straddles two rapidly growing industries: moving and storage. According to the Mobile Self Storage Association (MSSA), the moving and storage industry represents a $40 billion per year industry and is expected to surpass the mini-self storage industry in sales and popularity in the near future. This emerging and under competitive industry has very few real players, and our plan is to establish UNITS Moving and Portable Storage as the superior alternative to any competitor.

UNITS has created a superior program by engineering the most advanced container and lift system in the industry. Our fifth generation container is made with a steel frame and reinforced fiberglass making it light, strong and durable. It has no exposed wood so there is no potential for mold or moisture build up. It has a translucent roof designed to allow natural light in yet blocking the harmful rays that can damage personal belongings.

Our proprietary lift system was engineered to eliminate the need to use a fork lift to on and off load the container from the truck. Our 5% grade allows UNITS technicians to pick up and deliver containers without disturbing the contents: safely, efficiently and with less cost than our competitors.

Our training, marketing and support services demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence with an emphasis on local customer service. We are focused in our efforts to capitalize on the demand for local moving and storage, short or long-term storage and long distance moving before the market becomes saturated. This in turn, is what separates UNITS from the competition.

There has never been a better time to look into the opportunity at UNITS Moving and Portable Storage. We have taken the opportunity to become a major player in the mobile storage industry through our turn-key start-up franchise system. Our franchisees recognize this rare opportunity and are benefiting from being early adopters as we work to establish ourselves as the superior alternative in the market place. We grant the largest protected territories in the business and use a start small grow large philosophy which allows our franchise partners to keep their overhead and cost structure down when getting started.

Our Franchise partners are well-organized and can effectively prioritize tasks. It is essential that our franchise partners be comfortable in marketing their services both in and out of the storage warehouse facility. They are “go-getters” and are proactive in their marketing strategies. They do not wait on the business to fall into their lap, they go get it! They work at becoming knowledgeable business people and embrace the opportunity to mentor their employees and use all of the resources available to them.
