About FASTSIGNS

FASTSIGNS is a global leader in the franchised signs and graphics sector, with over 765 centres operating worldwide. Established in Dallas, Texas, in 1985 and expanding to the UK in 1994, the brand offers a proven route to successful business ownership in an industry driven by technology and creativity. As a franchisee, you will help businesses across every sector boost their visibility through high-quality design, production, and installation services.

Your Role as a Franchisee

This is predominantly a management franchise opportunity. Your primary role is to lead your business, build relationships with local clients, and manage a professional team. Because the model is flexible, you can build your team around your own strengths; if you are a strong manager, you might hire specialists for sales and production. The goal is to provide comprehensive visual communications solutions, from exterior building signs to event branding and promotional graphics.

Comprehensive Training and Support

FASTSIGNS provides an industry-leading support structure to ensure you are confident from day one. The training programme is designed to turn 'sign novices' into experts through a structured 4-week process:

  • Foundations Training: Two weeks at the Dallas Head Office.
  • Mentorship: One week spent in an established UK centre.
  • Launch Support: A one-week visit from a Business Consultant at your new centre.
  • Continuous Learning: 24/7 access to FASTSIGNS University and ongoing training events in sales, marketing, and technical substrates.

Marketing and Business Strategy

Marketing is at the heart of the FASTSIGNS model. The franchisor consistently invests in brand positioning and technology to ensure a high ROI on marketing activities. You will benefit from "On Your Behalf" marketing, which maintains national brand awareness while you focus on local growth. Dedicated Business Consultants also work with you to develop and manage a robust business plan, helping you scale toward a high-turnover enterprise.
