Thriving print and signage franchise Signs Express is looking for a franchise owner to own and operate its Kent territory.

Kent is one particular location which Signs Express would like to expand to as there is little presence of sign franchises in the area, it therefore holds endless opportunities for a new franchise owner to get themselves established in an area abundant with customer potential.

For those wishing to own their own business, managing a franchise may be an option to consider. Signs Express is one such avenue where you can start a brand new business but with all the safety of an already recognised and established brand, proven business model and support along the way.

As a management signage franchise, prospective franchise owners require no previous industry experience as full training will be given. As part of the franchise package Signs Express provides comprehensive support including help finding premises, unit fit out with everything from desks to machinery, marketing literature and merchandise, help recruiting, as well as training in accounts, marketing and technical processes to get started.

Through the help available a new Signs Express franchise looks to break even in the first year, receive dividends of £20,000 in year two and £40,000 in year three. In some cases well established franchise owners are turning over £1million a year and some long lasting franchise owners have recently been celebrating reaching £5million invoiced sales mark.

With 80 Sign Express franchises nationwide it is the UK and Ireland's largest sign franchise. Franchising is showing a positive outlook and is proving a more sustainable option that starting in business alone. Despite the economic uncertainty of last year, franchising still managed to contribute £11.8billion to the country's GDP which also showed an increase of £400million from the previous year.
