Avoid Theft from your Movers

Let’s face it; there is no way for a professional moving company to completely ensure the safety of your possessions from being lost or stolen. Though there are many different types of coverage’s and insurances in place on your move, it can still be scary to trust even the professionals with your belongings.

Oddly enough, he claimed that his back injury was so severe that he couldn’t even ride in a dump truck. He was obviously being dishonest. Many times, with this type of case, we will pass on our evidence on to the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation so they can use it to file fraud charges against the individual.

7 Steps of Franchising your Moving Company

Step One: See if Your Company is Ready

The first concern to ask yourself is whether your moving business is suitable for a franchise. Beyond having a good reputation of revenue and earnings at your current moving business, there are several aspects you will need to prepare yourself with.

Consider your idea. Most excellent business principles offer something acquainted, but with some exclusive perspectives to it. The idea has to have charm to both clients and to potential franchisees. Furthermore, the company needs to be something you can systematize and duplicate, not something that needs your personal contact everyday to be effective.
