Overview

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage provides a convenient and hassle-free solution for both residential and commercial customers needing moving or on-site storage. Founded in 2003 and franchising since 2007, UNITS offers best-in-class portable storage containers engineered for long-term durability. The company caters to a broad market, including homeowners, businesses, restoration companies, and contractors, delivering flexible storage and relocation solutions that simplify the moving process.

Franchise owners benefit from a scalable, executive-style business model with both B2B and B2C revenue streams. With a focus on customer service at the local level rather than through a national call center, franchisees can build strong relationships within their communities. UNITS provides proprietary technology, including a lead management system and a state-of-the-art container delivery system, ensuring efficient operations. The franchise offers large, protected territories, limited competition, and a high ROI potential in a growing $90+ billion industry.

This franchise is ideal for business-minded individuals who can manage a small team and oversee daily operations remotely. The executive model allows owners to focus on strategic growth while delegating responsibilities to a team handling customer service, sales, and logistics. UNITS is particularly suited for empire builders seeking a scalable business in a recession-resistant industry with strong demand and long-term equity potential.
