Build a scalable, van-based business in the thriving UK property sector

Countrywide Signs offers a proven, van-based franchise model specialising in the supply, installation and management of estate agent signage. Established in 1998, the brand has built a strong nationwide presence, supporting independent, regional and national agents with reliable, professional board management services.

With demand driven by the constant flow of property sales and lettings, franchisees operate in a resilient, service-led market with repeat business and long-term client relationships.

Why Choose Countrywide Signs?

  • Low-cost, home-based business with minimal overheads
  • Simple, proven model with multiple income streams (installation, print, stock management)
  • Exclusive territory with strong local demand
  • Over 30,000 estate and letting agents nationwide
  • Established brand with 25+ years’ experience
  • Scalable model – start with one van and grow to multi-van operation
  • High customer retention and repeat business
  • No premises required – operate from home
  • Comprehensive training and ongoing support
The business is straightforward to run but offers significant scope for growth, making it suitable for both hands-on owner-operators and those with ambitions to build a larger regional operation.

Starting as owner/operator, and then scaling up to a management franchise, allows you to learn every aspect of the business on the ground really understanding the day to day operations, which sets you up perfectly to managing a multi-van business.

Your Investment & Financial Potential


The franchise offers one of the most accessible entry points into the property sector:
  • Franchise fee: £19,995 + VAT
  • Funding available (up to 70% subject to status)
  • Low working capital requirements
  • No premises costs
Financial performance is a key attraction:
  • Typical single-van sales: £5,000–£6,000 per month
  • Profit margins: approximately 55–65%
  • Multi-van potential: £250,000+ annual turnover
With recurring work from estate agents and the ability to scale, the model is designed to deliver strong ROI and long-term business value.

Training & Ongoing Support


You’ll receive a comprehensive onboarding programme covering:
  • Business setup, planning and launch

The Countrywide Signs franchise has been around for a while – almost 30 years, in fact. Many franchisees stay as partners for 10-15 years as they know when they’re onto a good thing, but with a brand this well-established there will naturally be time when people decide to move on or retire, and opt for selling their business. Which is exactly what’s happening with several particularly lucrative territories right now.

This means there are fantastic opportunities for you to acquire a first-class business that has already benefited from years of dedication and commitment, giving you a huge advantage over starting a territory from scratch.

Sound interesting? Then, let’s chat.

The fresh, untapped “greenfield” territories are filling up fast, and these resales are a unique opportunity for you to get ahead of the game.
