FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Black Tie Moving Franchise

Black Tie Moving is a premium moving and relocation franchise founded in 2013 and headquartered in the Nashville area. The brand is built around a white-glove, concierge-style experience: uniformed crews, professional packing and unpacking, storage, and added-value touches such as home-setup assistance, marketed under a “Service Before Sales” philosophy.

Franchisees handle local, long-distance, commercial, and specialized moves for residential, business, and high-profile clients. Each location runs a protected territory from a local base with a leased moving truck and trained crews. A central corporate call center supports owners by handling sales calls, customer service, lead intake, and compliance, leaving franchisees to focus on local operations and crew management rather than back-office admin.

From an initial corporate footprint, the system has grown to dozens of locations across states including Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, California, and Arizona. The model is designed for owners without prior moving experience, and the brand carries a consumer association through partner Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts.

Why buy a Black Tie Moving Franchise?

The case to buy a Black Tie Moving franchise rests on a recognizable premium brand in an otherwise fragmented, mostly independent moving industry. Where most local movers compete on price with inconsistent standards, Black Tie positions itself on a predictable, high-touch experience, giving owners a clear point of difference in a market built on reputation and referrals.

The operating model is structured to lift admin off the owner: a central call center manages sales, leads, and customer service, while corporate systems and marketing support feed lead flow. That makes the business approachable for operators without moving-industry backgrounds, and the celebrity association through partner Gary LeVox adds consumer visibility that an independent start-up would have to build from scratch.

Black Tie Moving – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Black Tie Moving provides initial training for incoming owners and their crews, structured so operators without a moving background can run the business. The franchise journey includes a Discovery Day before approval. A central corporate call center is the system's backbone, handling sales, customer service, lead intake, and compliance for franchisees, alongside proven operating systems, marketing blueprints, and ongoing support. Resale buyers should confirm with Black Tie what transfer training and call-center access carries over to a new owner and existing crew when the unit changes hands.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Black Tie Moving suits a hands-on local operator rather than a passive investor. No moving-industry experience is required, so the priority is someone comfortable recruiting and managing crews, driving local sales and marketing, and holding to premium customer-service standards. Because corporate handles much of the sales and admin load, the owner's day centers on operations, scheduling, and quality control. Strong people-management instincts and a service-first mindset matter more than logistics expertise; relationship-builders who can grow local and real estate referral channels tend to fit best.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Black Tie Moving has been ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies (No. 341 in 2017 and No. 1,514 in 2019) and was named by Inc. magazine as one of the nation's fastest-growing franchises in 2019. The brand is BBB accredited and holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating across more than 2,100 Google reviews, alongside national real estate partnerships and a celebrity association through partner Gary LeVox. For resale buyers, this brand-level recognition should be weighed against the specific territory's local reviews and referral strength.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US moving services market was worth roughly $21.3 billion in 2023 (IBISWorld), with demand tied closely to housing turnover, job relocations, and life-stage moves. Growth is steady rather than dramatic, and the category is essential and recurring as people continue to relocate across economic cycles. Black Tie's premium positioning targets the higher end of this demand, where service quality and reliability carry more weight than price. For resale buyers, local housing activity and move volume in the specific territory are the main factors to assess.
