Redbox+ Dumpsters franchise is an asset-heavy, labor-light investment opportunity
One of the biggest unknowns of any new business venture is determining if the investment is a safe bet. In today’s climate, with tremendous labor market volatility and skyrocketing expenses of brick and mortar businesses, investing in a business that needs labor and a storefront to grow is not a safe bet.
On the other hand, investing in a business that is based on hard assets and meets an evergreen demand is not only more recession-resistant, but it can also be a much smarter move over the long-term. This is what makes redbox+ Dumpsters a truly different type of franchise opportunity.
Redbox+ Dumpsters franchise owners benefit from a business model that is asset-heavy and labor-light. This means that the majority of costs of ownership are associated with hard assets that retain value, can be utilized for many years, and can aid in the continued profit potential and growth of the business.
The total costs of ownership to open a redbox+ Dumpsters franchise range from $654,000 to $840,763, and include the hard assets needed to launch the business:
- A custom Kenworth tandem truck
- A minimum of 32 initial dumpsters
The benefit of an asset-heavy, labor-light business model means that the initial dumpsters you start out with can continue to work for you as you buy more dumpsters and purchase additional territories. The only labor requirements that you need to fulfill are for a driver to place the dumpsters on the site, pick up the dumpsters when they are ready to be emptied, and return them to the job site to begin the process again.
“Redbox+ Dumpsters is an attractive investment because you know in advance what your fixed costs are going to be,” says Steve Jahner, Regional Business Coach. “You know what your small business loan costs will be, the costs of your truck, your fuel costs, the costs of your driver, and so on. Other businesses have much more fluctuation in terms of ongoing costs, which hampers their ability to project their revenue potential. Redbox+ Dumpsters is the exact opposite, and that’s a big advantage from the perspective of a business owner who wants to grow.”
