THE ROLE OF THE COURIER FRANCHISEEFASTWAY COURIER FRANCHISEES ARE MUCH MORE THAN JUST VEHICLE DRIVERS.
Fastway Courier Franchisees are much more than just vehicle drivers, they
are motivated, self-employed business people who work under the well-
recognised Fastway brand name.
No special skills are required, just enthusiasm, energy, and the desire to build
a successful business within the guidelines of the Fastway franchise system.
Fastway’s courier services are aimed at businesses that send goods on a
regular basis. Courier Franchisees call on their customers each day to pickup
or deliver goods.
Through their constant presence in their exclusive territory, Courier
Franchisees quickly build their customer base.

YOUR EXCLUSIVE TERRITORY COURIER FRANCHISEES ARE GRANTED AN EXCLUSIVE TERRITORY, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY FRANCHISEE PERMITTED TO CARRY OUT THE PICKUP AND DELIVERY WORK WITHIN THAT AREA.
Parcels destined for other locations are delivered by other Fastway Courier
Franchisees. Courier Franchisees own the goodwill (customer database) of
the businesses in their territory. As the courier’s business grows, the exclusive
territory can be split (with part of it then sold to a new courier) thus making a
capital gain.
Some Courier Franchisees have split their original territory up to fi ve times,
and sold for prices as high as 1,250% (one thousand, two hundred and fi fty
percent) more than the initial purchase price.

FRANCHISE INCOMEINCOME IS GENERATED BY SALES OF PREPAID COURIER LABELS TO CUSTOMERS, AND THE PICKUPS AND DELIVERIES THAT TAKE PLACE IN THE EXCLUSIVE TERRITORY.
Fastway customers purchase prepaid labels directly from their Courier
Franchisee in order to send freight through the system.
The Fastway courier service is aimed at businesses that send goods on a
regular basis, so the ongoing purchase of prepaid labels is necessary for all
customers.
