It’s just such a simple business!

As the ex-General Manager of a major national Australian franchise brand, Jacob Spencer saw and took his opportunity to buy an existing franchise company of his own that just needed “some love and attention” to get it to the level he believes it can be.


As far as business opportunities go, it is hard to argue with Jacob Spencer when he says “It’s just such a simple business!”. Day to day, a Mobile Skips franchise business runs like this;

  • You have a fleet of Skip bins on wheels (lockable trailer skips),

  • Trades and the public book and rent the bins,

  • Customers can have the option to come and get them, or they can be dropped to their location by basically any car with a tow bar,

  • After ‘use’ they are either dropped back or picked up the same way again (car with tow bar),

  • A contractor garbage truck comes to your central location and empties all your bins for you.

They are then ready to be rented out again and again – yep, pretty simple.

Jacob states “If you are great with customers, are good at relationships, know how to tow and back a trailer, and you like driving a car – you can do this job, it’s that simple”

He’s also proud of the fact that his franchisees really enjoy what they do.  There is very little physicality in the work, which is an attractive feature for many and they get to interact daily with happy customers that love Mobile Skips

“Honestly, who wants to own a business that is a bore to run? Our franchisees are happy with the work they do, and importantly, our customers are happy with the work and service of our franchisees.  Check our Facebook page, as at right now (July 17), of 77 reviews over the last 3 months, we’re 4.8 starts out of 5 – that’s fantastic!

We want and ask all our customers to review us, GENUINE reviews. We’re all happy in this business!”

Of course, as with every business there is work involved. Yes, it’s an opportunity like any business, but putting in time and effort to make the most out of that opportunity is where success lies.

Jake is in full agreement. “We provide so much in the way of systems, service and support, but eventually the rubber only hits the road when the business owner gets up and goes out there and promotes their business to that opportunity market.”

The Mobile Skips proprietary cloud based management system handles most of the administration for their franchisees. “We do the book keeping, customers book online via the main website and you get a text alert about the booking made on your behalf while working out of a home office.”

“We’re also very proud and excited about our recognition and opportunity as a supplier to Bunnings Warehouses nationally. Herein lies another tremendous opportunity within our business. Those trailer skip bins you see and can hire from Bunnings – that’s us as well!”

“In my view our opportunities are endless in the commercial and residential market place with all of the elements for growth well and truly in place.”
