AGENCY
EXPRESS is the UK’s only national ‘For Sale’
estate agency sign contractor with a network of 96
franchisees.
Agency Express Franchise
Opportunity
The company was established in 1998 specifically
to provide a daily ‘For Sale’ board service to the
18,000 estate agency companies in the UK. A market which is worth
an estimated 20 million a year.
Today, the company works for almost 25% of all
estate agency offices in the UK and currently conducts an average
of 4,800 ‘For Sale’ board movements a day. The company
also has franchisees in Ireland and further overseas expansion is
planned. It is important to note that the business is largely
unaffected by the ups and downs of the property market. When the
market is depressed, there are obviously fewer properties coming on
the market but a much higher percentage (over 90%) have a
‘For Sale’ board displayed.

and includes;

Ongoing support to franchisees is provided from
the 2,100 sq ft Agency Express Head Office and is based within a
converted rural school near Norwich, from where a large dedicated
support team provide back up and support to the franchisee network.
The profitability of the company is dependant totally on the
success of its franchisees and assistance is only ever a telephone
call away.
Over 50% of the business enjoyed by our estate
agency sign contractor franchisees nationally is with our large
corporate customers and sourcing of national account business is a
fundamental support function.
Whilst our unique SignMaster on-line board
ordering system reduces your administration to a minimum, our
Centralised Accounts Department takes care of all invoicing for
you. They even chase payments for you, so you don’t have to
worry about bad debt and leaves you the time to concentrate on
building your business.
Each franchise territory is carefully designed to
give you the maximum reward for your efforts and to enable you to
put additional vans and employees on the road as your business
expands. Ultimately, your earnings are determined by your own
ambition and there is no upper limit!
During 2006/7 our top franchisees turned over in
excess of £160,000, with many others exceeding £100,000
but an established single van operation should turnover in the
region of £65,000 which, after expenditure should provide a
net profit of approximately £45,000.
