Cat

Franchise Director

“We started Your Man With A Van Franchise because we believed franchising could be done differently. Fair fees, no long-term lock-ins, and genuine partnership. Our franchisees succeed because we succeed together, not because we profit from their struggles.”

Dan

Founder

“Running my small business alone for years taught me resilience—but also the value of teamwork. I longed for people to share the load and vision. Franchising became the answer, and now, with more than 50 branches up and down the UK, we’re not just one business—we’re one team, growing together.”

“After watching my partner soar as a franchisee, I fell in love with the brand’s family ethos and the ‘stronger together’ spirit. Joining late 2024 as an Executive Admin felt natural. Supporting our branches with detail and care, I’m so proud to help our growing network stay connected and strong.”

    Frequently asked questions
    Get answers to the most common questions about our franchise opportunity
    What’s included in the initial buy-in fee?
    Your setup fee includes territory license, comprehensive training program, marketing materials, branded website, booking system access, and initial support package. No hidden costs.
    How does the monthly rolling contract work?
    Unlike traditional franchises with 5-10 year commitments, you can leave with just 30 days notice. This gives you complete flexibility and removes the risk of being locked into a long-term agreement.
    What ongoing support do you provide?
    You get dedicated account management, ongoing training, marketing campaigns, lead generation, technical support, and access to our franchisee community. We’re invested in your success.
    How much can I earn?

    Earnings vary significantly based on territory, effort, and market conditions. We don’t guarantee income, but our successful franchisees typically take home £25,000-£50,000 (pre tax) annually. We’ll share realistic projections for your specific area.

    Do I need removals experience?
    No prior experience required. Our training covers everything: removals techniques, customer service, business operations, and compliance. Many of our most successful franchisees started with no industry experience.
    What territories are available?

    We have opportunities across the UK, from major cities to market towns. Territory size depends on population density. We’ll help you find the right fit for your goals and investment level. 

    How quickly can I start operating?
    From application to launch typically takes 4-6 weeks. This includes background checks, training completion, territory setup, and system integration. We can accelerate this if needed.
    What insurance and compliance support do you provide?
    We help arrange appropriate insurance coverage and provide ongoing compliance guidance. You’ll get access to our approved suppliers and regular updates on industry regulations and best practices.
