BOXES ETC. Join a niche operator! Find plenty of scope and variety with a Mail Boxes Etc. franchise, a full member of the bfa. MBE is unique in UK franchising. With 110 one-stop stores, it is the only High Street chain that offers consumers and local companies a truly comprehensive range of business, postal and communication services. These include everything from its number one service – the safe and secure packaging and despatch of parcels all over the world – to mail box rental, printing and photocopying, corporate literature design, as well as office supplies and stationery, all conveniently available at each location. |
30 years experience!
The
franchise is part of a global organisation that began in the USA in
1980. Today, there are more than 6000
operating centres across the world serving
their local communities who are individual consumers and businesses
in all sectors.
What MBE does
MBE provides all
types of business service. Increasingly, it is regarded as
the premier and most convenient local provider, because stores are
located in town centres and they offer extended opening
hours.

Serving the community
MBE services are helping to fill some of the gap left by the
closure of local Post Offices. MBE’s leading service,
the safe and secure packaging and despatch of parcels all over the
world, has grown significantly across the network. MBE can
pack and ship anything, anywhere - from valuable antiques to
holiday luggage.
 | No previous experience required Franchisees do not need previous experience of the sector because MBE’s comprehensive four week training programme covers everything they need to know and equips them to be successful business people. It covers all aspects of running a small business, from sales and marketing to book-keeping and man-management. Established franchisees are from all walks of life and a wide range of backgrounds. MBE says that the right attitude and attributes are more important than previous career. |
Training, support and
investment
The training and support package includes site selection and
design, shop fittings, equipment and initial local marketing.
Typically, the investment starts from around £60,000 of which
up to about 70 per cent can usually be financed by one of the
leading banks, all of whom have excellent working relationships
with MBE.
What MBE
franchisees say:
“I went to an exhibition but none of the businesses held
significant appeal until I went on to the Mail Boxes Etc.
stand. MBE offered great variety and I could see the
potential for making a sound business out of an MBE
franchise. I understood the value of the services and how
they meet the genuine needs of local businesses.”
Dave Tester, 2009 MBE franchisee of the year
“We particularly liked the variety of services MBE offers
and we struck a rapport with the people too. We knew that MBE
is a robust franchise, offering a range of services that businesses
and individuals really want, so there will always be a
demand.”
Murli Mulchandani and Rikesh Nichani, former MBE
franchisees of the year and owners of four central London
stores
“Mail Boxes Etc met all our criteria, not least because it
would provide an opportunity for us to work together, which I can
recommend. It has been extremely successful and our personal
experience has been great.”
Russell Sykes, Portsmouth
“The centre is doing really well and we are very busy.
I certainly wouldn’t want to be employed again. It took
me 20 years to realise that I don’t like working for other
people and I’m much happier being
independent.”
Frank Bigley, Sheffield
“Being a franchisee is a great opportunity but with the
benefit of on-going support from the franchisor. It was one
of the best decisions of my life.”
Graham Angus, Stirling
