The Business – what you would be doing

FASTSIGNS® centres use state-of-the-art computer technology to create custom signs and graphics, banners, exhibitions, vehicle graphics and much more. We serve the business community and our attractive sites have the advantage of high visibility and easy access. Our concept emphasises customer service, quick turnaround and business-to-business solutions.

People are the heart of our business, but the centre itself is the physical nucleus of FASTSIGNS®. Our sign centres are high-energy environments, filled with creative activity. The glass-walled showroom encourages customers to observe the entire sign-making process, from onscreen layout to finished product.

The bright, clean look of the FASTSIGNS® centre reflects the professionalism that drives every element of its operation. Our customers are business professionals, accustomed to personalised treatment, quality products and on-time service. They appreciate the showroom atmosphere of our centres and they value our expert consultation and commitment to service. Typically open five days a week during standard business hours, FASTSIGNS® centres are interesting and attractive places for staff to work.

Many franchise owners derive profit not only from their royalty base but also from the sale of equipment and supplies to their franchisees. At FASTSIGNS®, we depend solely on the royalties from centres for our corporate revenue stream. So, when you succeed, we succeed! We understand first and foremost, our franchisees are our customers.

When going into business for yourself you have to plan on your exit strategy. This can mean passing the business on to family or partners, or selling it outright. A major benefit of the FASTSIGNS® business model is that once you have built up your business, your centre can have a strong resale or residual value. Not only are you running a profitable business today, but you are creating value for tomorrow.
