Conversion Resale Opportunities with Signs Express

Looking to sell your existing signage business? Let us handle it! No sale, no fee payable!

Why partner with us?

Selling a business can be a time-consuming, costly, and stressful process, especially for independent signage business owners who are deeply involved in day-to-day operations. At Signs Express, we aim to remove the hassle and streamline the sale of your business, while helping you preserve your legacy.

With over 60 locations across the UK and Ireland, we’re an established and trusted name in signage, but we’re always seeking to expand into new territories. By acting as your broker, we’ll manage the sale process from start to finish. Once complete, the new owner will rebrand the business as a Signs Express centre, continuing its success under our national brand.

How it works?

We’ll collaborate with you to create a compelling sales prospectus and agree on a fair sale price. You’ll appoint us as your exclusive broker for a minimum period of 12 months, during which we will:

  • Market and advertise your business via extensive reputable channels
  • Promote it under the name ‘Signs Express (Location)’
  • Qualify and vet potential buyers through our proven franchise recruitment process
  • Help secure the right buyer who will uphold your business’s reputation

As a franchise brand with over 35 years of experience, we have a strong track record in resales. Our comprehensive training and onboarding programme also appeals to buyers outside the signage industry, expanding your potential buyer pool. Plus, we believe we can get you a better price for your signage business when selling with us (because of the added benefit of support on offer)!

What we offer

  • No sale, no fee basis
  • A wider reach through our established marketing partnerships (also appealing to buyers outside of the industry)
  • A structured, professional sale process led by an experienced team
  • The opportunity to sell your business to a qualified buyer and national brand with local roots

Contact us to find out more today!

No Sale, No Fees: How does it work?

  • Should we be unsuccessful in selling your business, no fees shall be payable
  • Should we successfully find a buyer for your business, the following three fees shall be payable; £2,500 +VAT to train the incoming franchisee, £1,750 +VAT to cover half of our legal fees associated with the sale and a 7% finders fee based on the selling price. All fees shall be payable upon completion of sale

What’s in it for Signs Express and is my business in safe hands?

  • We’re always looking to grow our network. Supporting the resale of a profitable, fully operational business benefits both the incoming franchisee and our brand. Buyers are increasingly seeking ready-made businesses over starting from scratch, and the opportunity to take on a thriving business, backed by the support of a recognised franchise offers the best of both worlds.

  • We know how much your business, team, and customers mean to you. That’s why our recruitment process is robust and focused on finding the right person to continue your journey, someone who shares your values and ambition to grow within your local community.
