WORLD OPTIONS
World Options franchises enable owners to offer domestic and international shipping, freight, and other transportation services using major carriers under the World Options brand, operating from home or commercial locations. The business model involves the franchisor invoicing customers directly, paying carriers, and remitting the balance to franchisees after deducting royalties and fees. They target customers seeking discounted shipping solutions in a competitive market against national chains, local operators, and direct carriers.
