1. Getting to know each other

Fill out the confidential application and send it to Mail Boxes Etc. so the team can get to know you and assess your interest. If there is already a Master Licensee in your country, Mail Boxes Etc. will send all the information to them so they may contact you.

After you will receive all the information on the Mail Boxes Etc. business concept and the various ways to join the organization.

2. Seminars/open houses

The Master Licensee or Area Franchisee will offer you the chance to attend a presentation of a Mail Boxes Etc. store at one of its operating locations, so you too can become well versed in the benefits awaiting new affiliates.

During subsequent meetings, you will be able to explore more specific details associated with running a Mail Boxes Etc. store and will receive documentation related to coming on board. This will give you the chance to analyze the business affiliation contract as well as start-up costs.

3. Develop a business plan

Over a course of several meetings, you will sit down with the Master Licensee or Area Franchisee and work out all the factors and details of your affiliation: the contract, financial and economic aspects, zone analysis for your particular store and the availability of public and private financing.

4. Choice of location

Once the Business Affiliation contract has been signed, your Master Licensee or your Area Franchisee will help you research the best place to open up your Mail Boxes Etc. store and negotiate a leasing agreement.

Once that step has been completed, they will help you design and build your own store.

5. Training

For a few weeks you will attend training courses reserved for Mail Boxes Etc. affiliates. These lessons will alternate classroom theory with “on the job” training at an MBE store in your territory.

6. Opening

The final step: Your Master Licensee and his team will help you inaugurate and launch your new business.

Congratulations!
