THE Property Signage Franchise - Proven, Scalable, Profitable

Established in 1998, Countrywide Signs has a strong nationwide presence. Franchisees erect, manage and take down For Sale and To Let boards and also offer a design and print service to all kinds to businesses, giving franchisees extra revenue streams.

Financial Rewards

The Countrywide Signs business model has two aims: to quickly generate cash flow to give you the lifestyle you want, and to grow as an asset to sell in the future, providing you with a long-term return on your investment. How quickly you get to this point is up to you, but the support team is there to help you along the way!

It may be hard work, but if you’re practical, hands-on and business-minded (and of course if you choose), you could grow your single-van business into a multi-van Countrywide Signs franchise and take the next step to become a regional operation.

The business model is proven, lucrative and holds vast customer potential throughout the UK. In fact, there is upwards of 30,000 estate & letting agents across the nation and a growing commercial signage market to match.

Flexible Investment Options

Countrywide Signs offers exclusive territories, with a choice of size and investment levels for new start-up businesses:

• Single van business: On average our franchise owners enjoy 55-60% profit on their turnover with a single van operation, averaging between £5,000 - 6,000 sales per month.
• Multi-van operation: Expansion and development bring significant rewards; Countrywide Signs has several franchise owners operating multi-van businesses who enjoy turnover more than £250k per annum! With top performers running multiple territories who continue to increase turnover year-on-year! Now that’s a pretty great return!

Even with a multi-van or management franchise, you can start with one van and build up to a second van around 12 months later.

Franchise Package

Our franchise fee is £19,995 + VAT and franchisees can aspire to earn an impressive £250k+ in the future as a multi-van operation. The Franchise Package provides all you need to start and grow your new business.

Thanks to our strong relationships with lenders, who are familiar with our business model, up to 70% funding is available subject to status - meaning you could get started with just £10,000 of your own money.

A Simple but Very Effective Franchise Model

You become a property signage expert, managing customers’ property board needs from design print, install, update instructions, signboard removal through to aftercare.

The business opportunity requires low investment as no premises are required other than a small storage unit. You would simply run your new business from your home and conduct your daily property signage installs throughout your territory area on the road in your Countrywide Signs van.

As a result, overheads are minimal. If you follow the proven franchise business model and take full advantage of the business development and marketing support available, profit, business growth and your future retirement security are cemented.
