Unishippers

Own a Unishippers Franchise

Unishippers offers a proven franchise opportunity in the dynamic and fast-growing logistics industry. As a franchise owner, you'll join a nationally recognized brand with a legacy of innovation, powerful shipping solutions, and a strong network of entrepreneurs. Backed by the strength of our parent company WWEX Group, Unishippers helps franchisees deliver exceptional value to small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) by simplifying shipping and logistics.

Why Choose a Unishippers Franchise?

With over three decades of experience, Unishippers has built a business model that offers franchisees the tools, training, and support needed to succeed in the logistics space. Our franchisees help customers save time, reduce shipping costs, and access world-class technology and services. Whether your clients need parcel, freight or both, Unishippers provides everything you need to become a trusted logistics partner.

Powerful Brand and Industry Leadership

As a part of the Unishippers franchise network, you'll benefit from our reputation as a top logistics partner for SMBs. We are one of the largest authorized resellers of UPS® shipping services and maintain strong relationships with more than 75+ top freight carriers. This gives our franchisees unmatched flexibility and buying power, delivering top-tier shipping solutions to customers nationwide. And, as part of WWEX Group, which includes Unishippers, Worldwide Express and GlobalTranz, our logistics services will only continue to expand!

An Industry of Necessity

The logistics industry is a top recession-resistant industry. Valued at nearly $2 trillion in the U.S. alone, the industry supports the shipment of goods across the country and around the world. E-commerce, globalization, and evolving customer expectations are driving continued demand for fast, efficient, and affordable shipping solutions. Unishippers franchisees are uniquely positioned to capitalize on these trends by offering SMBs tailored logistics services without the overhead of managing their own shipping departments.

Robust Shipping Services

Unishippers offers a wide array of shipping solutions that cover parcel and freight shipping, including less-than-truckload (LTL), full truckload (FTL), international, and specialized services. With access to competitive carrier rates and a simplified logistics platform, franchisees are equipped to meet the diverse needs of SMB customers.

Flexibility to Work B2B Business Hours

Unlike a retail franchise, our franchise options give you the flexibility you crave — whether that’s working from home or opening your own office. Since you’re selling a B2B service, you can work standard business hours.

Geographic Flexibility

With our national franchise model there’s no need to move to a location where a franchise is available. We give you the geographic flexibility to work (and sell) practically anywhere in the U.S. Plus, our national model unlocks market opportunities across the country.

Backed by World-Class Training and Support

Unishippers is deeply invested in the success of its franchisees and provides a comprehensive training and support system designed to set you up for long-term growth.
