Several years ago upon discovering that there was no box hire company in Australia, or in the world, we commenced a pilot operation hiring boxes. We happily found the Hire A Box franchise service appealed to many homeowners who appreciated our speedy service orientated approach.
The resultant success allowed the business to expand, with 40% of jobs over the last 12 month period coming from referrals and used before. The ever-increasing interest for our home based business service has resulted in the decision to franchise. Franchises are now being allocated in Metropolitan areas across Australia as we promote the service more openly after the successful pilot operation.
WE ARE THE 1st AND ONLY BOX HIRE FRANCHISE IN THE WORLD
We feel a HIRE A BOX Franchise Owner has the best of two worlds, the benefit of the security that franchising offers plus being a business owner in a niche market. As people will always be moving and need boxes to pack their belongings we know that the Box Hire Service will grow rapidly in the next decade, The ability to operate from your home also provides great lifestyle benefits.

Prior to the commencement of the franchise, every owner will undertake training in our system. From then on we provide on-going daily management support and guidance during the operation of your business. You receive an Operations Manual for your guidance and as a training aid.
