FASTSIGNS: Cutting edge

FASTSIGNS is a visual communications company with franchise opportunities that enable people to be part of an industry that’s constantly evolving

Working on projects with some globally prominent brands such as Amazon, Legoland, Hitachi and JCB, FASTSIGNS centres operate at the cutting edge of the visual communications space.

While setting up a new franchise can be daunting, FASTSIGNS empowers its franchisees to become their own boss by providing comprehensive training and full marketing and operational support.

Understanding

All franchisees spend time in Dallas at a specialist training programme to learn about running their business successfully, as well as gaining a good understanding of the signage and visual communications industry.

Franchisee Shahzad Ahmad was keen to run a business of his own and decided FASTSIGNS, with its growth prospects and strong support system, was right for him.

“FASTSIGNS looked like an exciting business opportunity, with the benefit of having access to over 30 years of experience in the signage and visual communications industry,” Shahzad says.

“The experience has been fantastic and a real learning curve. We’ve done some brilliant work for a lot of great clients so far and we’re looking to expand further and get involved in the local community.”

Ranked first in the Franchise Business Review’s Business Services category, FASTSIGNS has over 600 franchises worldwide, with 52 new centres opening in 2015. The company also has plans to expand into new territories, including England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and mainland Europe.

Setting up a FASTSIGNS franchise is ideal for anyone looking for a fresh challenge and requires no previous experience in either business or signage.

Co-brand opportunities are also available for companies currently operating in associated print, photographic or signage industries, giving them the opportunity to diversify their current business.
