Breakdown

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

The investment covers everything you need to open and operate for the first several months. No surprise costs after signing.

The total initial investment ranges from $203,100 to $355,500. That range exists because costs like real estate, vehicle leasing, and local marketing vary by market. The franchise team walks through every line item during discovery so you know exactly where your number falls.

WHAT’S IN THE INVESTMENT

Every College HUNKS franchise operates two distinct service lines from a single location: junk removal and local moving. The initial investment covers everything needed to launch both.

Key details

  • Franchise fee ($75,000): covers the brand license, protected territory, initial training, and full system access.
  • Vehicles and equipment: trucks, dollies, moving pads, junk removal containers, and branded wraps.
  • Technology setup: CRM access, dispatch software, phone system integration, and review management tools.
  • Initial marketing: local launch campaign, Google Business Profile setup, and branded materials.

ONGOING FEES AND ROYALTIES

The royalty is 7% of gross revenue. The brand fund contribution is 2% of gross revenue. Both are standard for the franchise industry and fund the national marketing, call center, and technology platform you rely on daily.

“The brand gave us a system. The culture gave us a team that actually wants to show up.”

College HUNKS is an SBA-approved franchise brand, which means lenders have pre-vetted the business model. Many franchisees finance a portion of the investment through SBA loans. The franchise team can connect you with lending partners familiar with the brand.
