Franchise under $100,000: Mobile Skips

Sarah Stowe

Are you a people person in search of a hands on business that costs less than $100,000? Mobile Skips could be a worthwhile investment.

Established in 2011, Mobile Skips delivers skip bin hire services to clients in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, and the business currently includes five franchisees.

The company has established a relationship with hardware chain Bunnings Warehouse, and director Cam Griffiths explains franchisees will be required to liaise with staff members there, as well as manage bookings.

“They work with Bunnings team members to ensure they are trained in the offering,” he says.

He says Mobile Skips is:

  • A hands on business with flexibility
  • A people’s person business
  • A business where high service levels are critical

The cost of a Mobile Skips franchise will vary according to the region in which the franchisee operates, as well as the population of that region.

“[Prices] range from $47,000 to $87,000,” Griffiths says.

There’s a 13 percent management fee, five percent marketing fee and franchisees will be required to pay $99 per month for trailer hire.

The term of the agreement is five years, with an option to renew for another five years after that.
