Let's Get Moving Canada is a North American moving and storage company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. The company provides local moving, storage, and packing services in more than 55 locations across Canada and over 35 in the United States as of July 2025, with further expansion planned. It operates under a franchising model and is recognized for its technology-driven operations and customer-focused approach.[1]

History

Let's Get Moving was founded in 2010 by Tiam Behdarvandan in Toronto, Ontario.[2] At the age of 19, Behdarvandan launched the business with a single truck and two movers, after identifying a gap in customer service within the moving industry. Early on, the company struggled to secure consistent business. During this period, Behdarvandan invested in professional development, including training seminars and business strategy workshops focused on sales and customer service in the moving sector.

In 2015, Let's Get Moving began implementing customer relationship management (CRM) systems, which allowed the company to streamline internal operations and scale client communication. By 2020, the company had expanded its Toronto fleet with over 30 trucks to meet growing demand.

Let's Get Moving has been reviewed on various major platforms, where it has typically received ratings between 4.8 and 4.9 out of 5. Common themes in customer feedback include punctuality, operational efficiency, and attention to detail.[3]

Expansion and franchising

Let's Get Moving adopted a franchising model to facilitate national and international growth. Its first Canadian franchise opened in Kingston, Ontario. As of 2024, the company reports over 500 employees and serves more than 40,000 customers annually across its network of franchise and corporate locations.[4]

The company offers franchise opportunities in designated territories across North America. The initial franchise fee ranges from $40,000 to $60,000, depending on factors such as keyword performance and search volume in the selected area. Franchisees are required to pay an ongoing royalty fee of 6.5%.

The estimated total initial investment for a franchise typically falls between $111,900 and $244,450. This figure includes the territory fee, startup expenses, and working capital for the first three months. Startup costs are estimated to range from $35,000 to $45,000, though actual expenses may vary depending on local market conditions, lease rates, vehicle requirements, and applicable regulations.

Prospective franchisees are expected to meet certain financial criteria, including a minimum of $75,000 in liquid capital and a net worth of at least $150,000.

Notable milestones include:

  • 2021: New corporate hub opened in Vancouver
  • 2022: Expansion to Hamilton (ON), Burnaby (BC), and Edmonton (AB)
  • 2023: First international franchise in the United States
