Moving house or moving office is certainly a hassle. However, for those who are keen to see opportunities, this situation could actually be a lucrative business area. So, RajaPindah has been seriously working on this moving business since 2004.RajaPindah provides moving services starting from packing, lifting goods to sending, dropping off, unloading goods and providing a guarantee of the safety of goods until they reach their destination. RajaPindah is headquartered in Jakarta with two branches in Surabaya and Balikpapan, plus one agent in Makassar. This moving service business opportunity is still open, said Panca Firdaus, Business Development Manager of RajaPindah.The opening of this opportunity then made RajaPindah offer franchising since a month ago. Panca claims that this franchise offer is the first in Indonesia. Even though it has only been offered for a month, two franchisees in Semarang and Kelapa Gading have already joined.
Moving Kings offers three franchise packages. Namely a regular franchise package with an investment value of IDR 30 million, without rental or purchase costs for a transport truck.
With an investment of that size, the franchisee only gets one desk and chair unit along with a computer set complete with software that is integrated with the head office tracking and tracing system. Franchisees also receive employee uniforms, RajaPindah nameplates, promotional equipment, initial packing materials, including operational training.The second package is regular plus with an investment value of IDR 55 million, without truck rental fees. Compared to the first package, the second package will receive MAX Logistic services for export and import deliveries. The final package is a master package worth IDR 110 million without truck rental fees. This package has more business equipment, in the form of two sets of computers for administration and marketing, 15 employee uniforms, RajaPindah branding truck tarpaulin , and one tricycle trolley.
Master package holders also have the right to assist other franchisees in services, including truck rental. Therefore, for the master package, it is recommended to have your own truck,
said Panca
After the agreement is signed, each franchisee will be bound by a cooperation contract for five years. During that time, they have to pay a royalty fee of 5% of the total turnover per month. During the first year, the head office will send one sales representative to help with operations and open the market. Turnover obtained from moving services is IDR 125,000 per cubic meter for the local area. Consumers will receive moving services from packing goods, shipping, to loading and unloading at their destination. Meanwhile, there is no fixed price for out-of-town moving services. The cost depends on the distance, he said. However, Panca calculated that the return on capital for the regular package is 10 months, the regular package plus a year, and the master package is 18 months.Erwin Halim, a franchise observer from Proverb Consulting, sees RajaPindah's offer as quite prospective. However, what needs to be considered is the marketing strategy to attract customers. Erwin suggests intensive promotion.
