EcoBox, a leading moving and shipping supplies company based in Austin, Texas, is looking for bright, energetic franchise partners who want to be part of our national expansion.

Why Franchise with EcoBox?
Never has the market been better for the independent packaging industry. Americans are on the move. The average person moves 11 times in their lifetime, and 17 percent of all Americans (roughly 50 million people) change their address each year.
At the same time, small businesses and home-based businesses are growing as never before. More than 99 percent of all businesses today are small businesses. And more than half of those are home-based, according to the Small Business Administration.
EcoBox is an exciting "green" concept specializing in moving boxes and shipping supplies with an economical and ecological approach.
The investment required to open a EcoBox Franchise is between $136,900-$324,800. There is an initial franchise fee of $19,000-$29,500 which grants you the license to run a business under the EcoBox name.

Your income potential as a EcoBox Franchise entrepreneur depends vastly on many factors. As an entrepreneur, the goals to achieve are related to expanding sales while lowering your operation costs and increasing the quality of your products and or services. Each month your operating costs can include mortgage / rent, supplies for products, staffing, utilities, bookwork, stationary and other items. From one month to the next, you may find your costs fluctuate, but your up-front costs are, for the most part, fixed and they will cover most of the initial setup of equipment, signage and renovations.
