  •  What are the financial requirements to be considered for a franchise?
    Franchisees must meet The UPS Store minimum financial requirements and be in a position to capitalize the franchise investment, including working capital and any personal living expenses during the set-up period. Startup costs vary based on the size and location of your new The UPS Store center.

    Based on the center's location and size, the total initial investment cost for a new The UPS Store center ranges from $150,196 to $371,022. We require that all prospective franchisees be able to verify a minimum of $60,000--100,000 in liquid assets.* This can be met through any combination of cash, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement accounts, or other non-borrowed source. A co-applicant may also assist in meeting this requirement.

    *Meeting this requirement does not guarantee the reward of a franchise.

  •  How much can I expect to earn as a The UPS Store franchisee?
