Licensing Questions
We believe a great partnership starts with complete transparency. Building a portable storage business is a major decision, and you deserve clear, honest answers without the corporate runaround. Below, we have answered the most common questions we get about how our licensing model, lead routing, and network systems work in the real world.
Is this a franchise or an independent model?
This is a pure licensing and shared-services model. You maintain 100% independent ownership of your business entity, your physical containers, your vehicles, and your local pricing. We provide the digital engine, support tools, and network connection, but we do not dictate your daily operations or take a percentage of your revenue.
Do I operate under the Get Simple Box name or my own local brand?
You establish and fully own your independent business entity (such as Miami Containers, LLC), and we serve as the digital engine and support team behind it. This gives you the best of both worlds—100% ownership of your local container company, plus voluntary access to the instant credibility and marketing power of a national network.
How exactly does local territory routing and lead distribution work?
We designate specific zip codes for your location’s first right of refusal on incoming leads. If there are open zip codes beyond your immediate territory that are closer to your yard than any other operator, we route those to you as well until a closer partner signs up. Generally, an operator’s standard market focus covers an approximate 60-to-90 minute drive-time radius, a population base of 250,000+, or entire local counties.
When a high-intent online lead comes through the central system for your zip codes, it drops straight into your dashboard. To ensure excellent customer service network-wide, you have a 12-to-24 hour window to accept the lead. If it is declined or missed, it temporarily defaults back to central routing so the customer gets an instant response.
What is the total estimated capital required to open a new physical yard?
The upfront Get Simple Box Enrollment Fee is $10,000, which covers your technical onboarding, CRM setup, and digital launch engineering. However, because this is an asset-heavy business, the real capital required to start a physical yard—including securing your initial container inventory, delivery equipment, and yard setup—typically ranges between $120,000 and $250,000 or more. Please keep in mind that the container industry is asset-intensive, meaning that as you bring on more customers, you will need to bring on more inventory to serve them. We can help you look over these asset requirements during your evaluation phase and can connect you with preferred equipment lenders.
Is the BoxBot container delivery system a requirement for new locations?
No. The BoxBot delivery system is highly recommended and available to our operators, but it is completely optional. If you already own or plan to use a functional, safe truck-and-trailer setup that handles container drop-offs efficiently, you are entirely free to use it. Our goal is to support your local efficiency, not mandate specific equipment.
What happens logistically if I choose to use the Freedom to Exit?
We believe a partnership should endure based on shared value, not complicated contracts. If you give your 120 days’ notice to leave the network, your physical business assets remain 100% yours. We will cleanly disconnect your local landing pages and stop routing central leads to your zip codes. You retain every single customer account, your yard, and your container fleet completely unencumbered. You simply phase out the use of trademarked Get Simple Box logos and decals so we can open up availability for that market area again.
How long does it typically take to get a new location up and running?
For safety and liability reasons, customers are not allowed to move rental containers. Moving containers requires specialized equipment. If you need it moved on your property or to a new address, just call us and we can schedule a relocation.
How do the local and interstate moving partnerships work across the network?
One of the hardest parts of doing moves on your own is coordinating logistics when a container leaves your town. Through our connected network, you can coordinate cross-regional and interstate moves with other independent Get Simple Box operators. Because our network works collaboratively, you can seamlessly pass logistics, drop-offs, and container returns to trusted peers in other markets, allowing you to capture high-ticket moving packages without the administrative headache.
What kind of ongoing time commitment is required from me as the owner?
We are looking for active owner-operators who want to be deeply involved in building a household name in their community, not hands-off passive investors. While we handle the digital heavy lifting and administrative systems, you will need to manage local customer relationships, coordinate your local drivers, and oversee your yard. We also ask that you commit a few hours a month to engage in our 1-on-1 coaching sessions and participate in our Monthly Operator Forums to stay connected with the group.
Can I expand into multiple locations or secure more than one market area?
Yes. We love supporting successful operators who want to scale up. Because we charge a flat fee per location rather than taking a percentage of your total sales, your profitability goes up as you grow. If you prove that your first location is thriving, stable, and providing excellent customer service, you will have the first opportunity to secure adjacent zip codes or open an additional yard in an open market area at the standard flat rate.
Can I add a licensing location if I already own an existing container yard?
Absolutely. Many potential Operators are already in the container or storage business but feel isolated or stuck at a growth ceiling. You can plug your current physical operation into our digital engine, marketing systems, and peer network to instantly unlock better lead flows, group vendor pricing, and long-distance moving capabilities.
