About Signs Express
With over 80 centres nationwide, Signs Express is firmly established as the UK and Ireland’s leading signs and graphics franchise.
Launched in 1989, Signs Express has developed into a first class signage business and franchise network serving the length and breadth of the UK as well as the Republic of Ireland.
The signs and graphics industry is growing year on year and holds endless potential as more and more businesses realise the importance of creating the right image and first impression to customers.
Signs Express is able to offer its customers a truly nationwide service and a one-stop shop for all sign and graphics needs, providing a competitive advantage over other sign companies. Our local ownership and strong brand recognition sets us apart from other sign companies which is also complemented by our professional service and high quality standards.
Our franchise model has been designed to provide a full professional service to a vast marketplace of potential customers in the business-to-business sector. As a management franchise, prospective franchisees require no industry experience as full training is provided and sign making staff will be appointed to work in your production unit. Your skills will be based on your own management and sales experience and your ability to lead a team.
In order to start a Signs Express franchise you will need a minimum of £35,000 liquid capital. With the remainder of finance required usually funded by the banks, you will receive an enviable start-up package providing everything you need to kick start your business. As a franchisee, you will gain the knowledge and support of an already established brand with a fantastic reputation for quality products and service. You will take part in a four-week training programme at our head office where you will meet the support team and learn technical and business techniques to help you gain a thorough understanding of every aspect of the business.
Despite the economically challenging times we are all facing at the moment, finance for a Signs Express franchise is still supported by all of the major banks, making the step to securing your own future far easier than trying to raise investment for your own stand alone business.
As a full member of the British and Irish Franchise Associations, you can be sure that we adhere to strict codes of business. The company has been regularly recognised by the British Franchise Association in their annual awards, bearing testament to our reputation for excellence. In addition, all Signs Express centres are accredited members of the British Sign and Graphics Association who have presented the group with numerous prestigious awards.
