Welcome to the new franchise opportunity section of our web site and thank you for considering franchising with Mail Boxes Etc (MBE).

Since its inception in 1980, Mail Boxes Etc. has grown in quantum leaps. Mail Boxes Etc. hit the 1,000 franchise locations mark in 1990 and has quickly expanded to become the biggest network of business service centres in the world. Today Mail Boxes Etc. has nearly 6000 Centres represented in almost 77 countries worldwide. UPS, the world's largest parcel courier company acquired Mail Boxes Etc. Inc. in 2001.

In the UK and Ireland we have mirrored this growth. Since acquiring the master license in 1997 we have become one of the UK’s fastest growing franchise companies. Currently we have over 100 Mail Boxes Etc. Centres open in the UK and Ireland.

Our network has also attracted world class strategic partners such as Xerox, FedEx, Parcelforce Worldwide and UPS. Together with our partners we are dedicated to providing our franchisees with the best programmes, training and support in the franchise industry. Mail Boxes Etc. is well positioned to take advantage of future business trends. The rapid growth in people working in home based offices, coupled with the advent of e-commerce retailers and customers, offers tremendous opportunities for our franchisees and for our network to develop new products and revenue streams.

Some of the best assets of Mail Boxes Etc. are its people, both the head office and area franchisee teams and especially our franchisees, who are from all walks of life and from every part of the UK and Ireland. They are people who have joined MBE to fulfil their personal goals of being their own boss and owning their own business. They see franchising as a very attractive alternative to being employed, with numerous benefits and advantages.
