A massive, essential service industry with consistent demand and significant growth potential.
Growing Demand

Essential Service
Moving is a necessity, not a luxury. Customers need professional services whether they're moving across town or across the state.
Recession-Resistant
People always need to move. Life events like job changes, marriages, and family growth drive consistent, year-round demand.

Elliot Helm
Founder & Owner, Sterling Interstate
Built from the Ground Up
Elliot Helm started working in the moving industry in 2012, learning every aspect of the business from the ground up — from how to properly pack and protect a customer's belongings, to running efficient operations and building a team that cares.
After five years of mastering the craft alongside his mentor, Elliot opened Sterling Interstate in Phoenix, Arizona in early 2017. Since then, the company has earned a 5.0 Google rating across 400+ reviews by doing the simple things right, every single move: show up, own it, and treat every home like your own.
Sterling Interstate Franchise Systems is the result of a proven operational model — structured, scalable, and built for the long term. Elliot now offers qualified entrepreneurs the opportunity to own and operate their own Sterling Interstate franchise backed by real systems and real support.
"We pioneer removing the stress of moving — turning it into a positive mindset that this is just a new beginning."
— Elliot Helm, Founder
