Waiting For A Sign

FASTSIGNS prides itself on providing the best quality products, award winning customer service and cutting edge visual communication solutions

Since 1985, FASTSIGNS has taken the signage and graphics industry by storm, opening over 620 centres in nine different countries, 20 of which are located in the UK.

The leading franchisor in the signage, graphics and visual communication industry, its high standards for quality and customer service have made FASTSIGNS the most recognised brand in the industry.

The signage industry is experiencing significant growth and rapid innovation, so there’s never been a better time to join the company.

Variety

Becoming a FASTSIGNS franchisee means no two days will be the same.

The company’s centres work on such varied projects that you can be installing window graphics one day and consulting on a digital signage project involving creative content the next.

The FASTSIGNS team provides strong strategic direction and support. Although it helps to have prior knowledge of the signage industry, it’s not a necessity.

FASTSIGNS provides four weeks of initial training, including two weeks at its state of the art production training centre in Dallas, Texas, followed by ongoing training sessions, visits from the company’s business consultants and marketing specialists, plus 24/7 access to a FASTSIGNS specific support site.

The franchise package includes:

• A generous territory and assistance selecting a site.
• Industry leading training.
• Pre-opening marketing campaigns.
• Grand opening support and guidance.
• Dedicated business consultants.
• A franchisee mentoring programme.
• 24-hour web-based learning management.
• Outside sales support.

When you open a FASTSIGNS centre, you join a global network of like-minded people. You can enjoy owning a business with these compelling features:

• Protected territory.
• Low staffing requirements.
• Business-to-business hours.
• Professional business clientele.
• Attractive margins.
• Strong brand name recognition.
• More than 30 years’ proven history.
• Highly visible premises.
• National advertising fund.
• Low inventory.
• Buying power with key suppliers and vendors.

In addition, FASTSIGNS offers special rates on your royalty payments for the first 12 months of business to help you get started. It also offers the opportunity for existing print, signage and photography businesses to harness the power of the FASTSIGNS brand through its established co-brand and conversion programmes.

Co-branding with FASTSIGNS is easy and costs much less than you think. Because you have an existing customer base, the franchise fee and royalties are lower than the traditional start-up franchise.

By adding a FASTSIGNS centre within your existing business footprint, you will gain ongoing training and support for an initial investment starting from £17,500.

Alternatively, if you have a signage business that’s struggling to grow, the company gives you the opportunity to convert your business into a FASTSIGNS centre with reduced fees and investment.
