The franchise was established to offer cost-effective and reliable international express shipping services to small and medium-sized businesses. InXpress has expanded significantly since its inception and now operates in 14 countries across the globe. The franchise has a strong presence in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Hong Kong, and several European countries.

The opportunity
