Franchise opportunity · Est. Easy Skips Online Ltd

The skip-hire industry never modernised. We did — now you can own it locally.

Easy Skips turned an overlooked, analogue trade into more than £1 million of turnover in under two years. We license the whole system — fixed fee, no percentages, no premises — to operators who already have the customers. Your business; your local name; our proven model behind it.

A brokerage,
not a skip yard.

Run it from the admin you already have.

Easy Skips Online is a modern skip-hire brokerage. We connect customers who need a skip with trusted waste-management providers and handle everything cleanly in between. The franchisee takes the order, sources fulfilment and owns the customer relationship. No fleet, no stock, no waste-handling compliance, no capital tied up in assets.

Most of the industry is still hard to reach — no online booking, slow to respond, poor communication. That gap is the entire opportunity. Easy Skips was built to close it, and customers reward us for it.

  • Online ordering Customers book in under a minute — no phone tag, no waiting.
  • Multi-channel service Friendly, modern communication by phone, SMS and web.
  • Fast fulfilment Next-day delivery where the supplier network allows.
  • White-label You trade under your own local brand — our data shows it converts better than a national one.

Built around what you already run.

This isn't reinventing yourself — it's leveraging the customers, contacts and admin you already have. Choose the path that fits you.

    The numbers make sense.

    One of the lowest barriers to entry of any franchise in the UK — and a fee structure with no percentages and nothing hidden. Everything you earn above the flat monthly royalty is yours to keep.

    Initial licence fee £12,000 All setup costs included — one territory
    Royalty — Year 1 Nil A full 12 months royalty-free
    Royalty — Year 2 onward £250/mo Flat fee. Scales only with RPI / cost base — no percentages
    Gross profit per order £49.63avg £60+ at top-performing sites with established trade relationships
    Target profit, single site £15,000+/yr Pre-tax, after Year 1, for a well-run operation
    Indicative break-even 9–36mo Depending on staffing strategy — potentially under a year
    Premises & marketing None Run it on a smartphone and a laptop, using your existing setup

    Multi-site discounts available — pricing discussed on application. Figures are estimates from current operational data and are not guaranteed.

    A market that
    hasn't caught up.

    The UK skip-hire sector is structurally underserved and digitally immature — mostly owner-managed operators with limited online presence and inconsistent service. Easy Skips doesn't replace them; it adds a layer of modern, efficient customer service on top, which existing suppliers increasingly prefer to their own direct sales.

    “An operator with existing commercial capability and local market knowledge is well positioned to capture significant territory share — quickly.”

    How it runs.

    You bring the customer service; the waste-management companies get their hands dirty. The whole operation maps onto the admin you already do.

    1. 01

      Take the order

      An enquiry comes in through the system — generated for free, no mandatory ad spend. You confirm the booking with the customer.

    2. 02

      Source fulfilment

      You place it with a trusted provider from the network. Your margin is the spread — and your relationships sharpen it.

    3. 03

      Own the relationship

      You manage communication through to delivery. Invoicing integrates with Xero, QuickBooks or Sage — alongside your existing accounts.

    • One-to-one mentoring from the Easy Skips team
    • Full technical and financial support throughout

    06

    Is this
    your move?

    It's the right fit if you recognise yourself here:

    • You want to earn more without building complex new systems from scratch.
    • You already give great service and care about the detail.
    • You have a professional reputation you can leverage into better supplier deals.
    • You want a proven model — not a start-from-zero gamble.
    • You'd rather have mentoring and support than be left to figure it out alone.
    • You're ready to move quickly — setup takes days.
    08

    Straight answers.

    Do I need to know the skip-hire industry?

    No. You bring the customer service and local relationships; the waste-management companies handle the work on the ground. The system and mentoring cover the rest.

    Will I be competing against Easy Skips?

    No. The franchise is white-label — you trade under your own local brand in your own area. Our data shows a recognised local name converts materially better than a national one.

    What will marketing cost me?

    There's no mandatory marketing budget. Enquiries are generated for free as part of the system. If you already have channels and a customer list, you deploy them at your discretion.

    How quickly can I be trading?

    For an operator with systems and people already in place, days. There's no meaningful delay between signing and your first live order — one of the model's biggest advantages.

    Can I run more than one territory?

    Yes. The model scales close to linearly — additional territories route through a single admin function. Multi-site discounts are available, with pricing discussed on application.

    What disclosure do I get before committing?

    A full briefing package: audited franchisor financial and shareholder data, territory-level revenue and margin analysis, operational and technology documentation, and reference introductions to existing franchisees (subject to consent).
