Fastway Couriers, established in 1983, is the world's largest courier franchise system with 104 Regional Franchisees and 1,500 Courier Franchisees and serves a strong market niche untapped by other couriers. Sole Regional Franchise rights for each city are awarded to only one entrepreneur who enters the business of franchising, not package distribution. Cities are then divided into territories which are awarded to Courier Franchisees who conduct the actual distribution of packages.
