The earning potential
Each franchise territory is carefully designed to give you the maximum reward for your efforts, and to enable you to put additional vehicles and employees on the road as your business expands. Ultimately, your earnings are determined by your own ambition, and there is no upper limit!
Agency Express top franchisees turned over in excess of £160,000, with many others exceeding £100,000, but an established single vehicle operation should turn over in the region of £65,000 which, after expenditure should provide a net profit of approximately £45,000.
The franchise package includes:
Territory licence – A 10-year renewable franchise agreement to trade as Agency Express within your own exclusive territory
Fully sign written van – The deposit paid on a new Renault Master van, complete with Agency Express graphics, SatNav and removable racking
Comprehensive training – A total of eight days’ training covering all aspects of our business and a business launch in your own territory
Specialist tools and equipment – All tools and equipment are provided for you to get your business up and running. Included in our comprehensive package is an Android smart phone, a specialist vinyl printer, together with supplies of vinyl, 4mm ‘correx’, compact ladders and a variety of other bespoke tools
Access to SignMaster3 – A 10-year licence to access SignMaster3, the Agency Express online board management system. SignMaster3 and the Signmaster3 Franchisee App enables you to seamlessly manage all work on a daily basis
Corporate clothing – An all-weather range of high quality branded corporate clothing and essential day-to-day safety wear
Stationery and marketing literature – All the start-up corporate stationery supplies, business cards and marketing literature you will require
Public liability insurance – The premium paid on your first 12 months’ public liability insurance, covering you for £5,000,000
Operations manual – A comprehensive Franchise Procedure and Operations Manual covering all aspects of the business
Launch and ongoing support – Including extensive territory research, customer database creation and weekly mailshot campaigns
Training & support
In addition to the franchise package, all Agency Express franchisees receive 8 days comprehensive training and support from our dedicated team. However, our franchisees are never alone in their franchise journey, as the team is only a phone call away with help and advice.
