11 Steps to Start Your Own Delivery Business in Myanmar (2025 Guide)

In Myanmar, demand for fast and reliable delivery is growing every day. From online shopping to food delivery, people want quick service, and businesses want trusted partners.
If you're thinking about starting a delivery business in 2025, now is the time.
This guide breaks it down into 11 simple steps to help you start and grow successfully.

Step 1: Understand the Market

Do your research first.

• Who needs delivery? (e.g., online sellers, food shops, pharmacies)

• Where’s the demand growing? (e.g., Yangon, Mandalay, semi-urban areas)

• What are customers complaining about in existing apps?

Use this knowledge to shape your business idea.

Step 2: Choose Your Niche

Pick one focus to begin with:

• Food delivery

• Parcel/document delivery

• Medicine or grocery delivery

• E-commerce last-mile delivery

Starting small helps you stay focused and test your model.

Step 3: Prepare Equipment and Tools

You’ll need:

• A motorcycle, bicycle, or small delivery truck

• Phone holders, raincoats, and power banks

• Delivery bags and safety gear

Start with low-cost essentials and upgrade later.

Step 4: Choose a Delivery Management App

To manage orders and tracking, use:

• Get Delivery Myanmar (Partner Model)

• Build your own basic order-taking website or Google Form

• Use Telegram or Messenger bots for quick access

Tip: Use digital tools early—even a basic system helps!

Step 5: Register Your Business

Make it official:

• Get a business license (for logistics or courier service)

• Register with the city authorities if needed

• Open a business bank account

Being legal builds trust with both customers and business clients.

Step 6: Build a Simple Brand

People trust brands that look reliable.

• Create a name and a simple logo

• Make uniforms or ID cards for riders

• Start a Facebook Page and Google Business Profile

Keep the look professional—even if it’s small.

Step 7: Set Delivery Pricing

Pricing tips:

• Use flat-rate fees based on distance

• Offer bulk delivery discounts for e-commerce sellers

• Add a night-time surcharge if needed

Keep prices clear and upfront—no hidden fees.

Step 8: Recruit and Train Riders

Even if you're starting alone, you’ll grow fast.

• Hire friendly and responsible riders

• Train them on customer service, navigation apps, and safety

• Pay fairly and offer bonuses for performance

Happy riders = happy customers.

Step 9: Market Your Delivery Service

Start simple:

• Promote on Facebook, Telegram, and Viber groups

• Partner with local food shops or online sellers

• Offer referral discounts to gain new users

Use real delivery photos and simple videos to build trust.

Step 10: Track and Improve

Use digital tools to monitor:

• Delivery time

• Customer satisfaction

• High-demand zones

Then adjust: faster routes, better pricing, or more riders.

Feedback = growth.

Step 11: Expand Smartly

Once your base is strong, scale slowly:

• Add new zones (e.g., suburbs or nearby towns)

• Offer more vehicle types (bike, truck, jumbo)

• Create a dashboard or API for business clients

Tip: Always focus on reliability, not just speed.

Pro Tips for 2025 Delivery Success

• Focus on trust and consistency, not flashy branding

• Offer live chat or real-time updates via Messenger or Telegram

• Try seasonal promotions—Thingyan, New Year, etc.

• Build loyalty with cashback or mystery boxes

Starting a delivery business in Myanmar doesn’t require a huge investment—just a smart plan, basic tools, and local understanding.

From food delivery in Yangon to e-commerce logistics in Mandalay, there’s a lot of opportunity waiting for you.
