Would you pay $100,000 for a franchise involved in junk removal. Me neither, but I might be wrong because 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is the world’s largest junk removal franchise with over 200 franchise partners. For the past 11 years the company’s franchise partners have been hugely successful across North America. The company have professionalised what was previously a disorganised industry characterised by dodgy vehicles, no receipts and cash in hand payments.

Junk removal is pretty disorganised in the UK too. Might there be a gap in the market for a professional service run in a businesslike manner. I believe that there is. If it works so well in the US, why not here?
