New Year, New Business? Here's the smart way to make it happen...

January 20, 2026

Forget the endless ads you're getting bombarded with from gyms at this time of year – this is about real change, the sort that actually impacts your career and your future, the kind that takes proper action to make happen.

If you're someone who's decided that 2026 is the year you take charge of your career and ditch the same old, same old for something new and more rewarding, then good for you. Seriously, it’s a big decision, especially if you’re planning to go into business for yourself, and it could well be one of the best decisions you ever make.

However, it’s not easy to achieve. All of this is a lot easier said than done...unless you play it smart.

Starting a business from scratch means figuring everything out yourself. The systems, the suppliers, the marketing, the pricing, the pitfalls you didn't even know existed. It's expensive, it's time-consuming, and sadly, most new businesses don't make it past the first few years.

Which is why franchising is such a smart move - especially when it’s with a well-established brand like Countrywide Signs.

With a Countrywide Signs franchise, you’re not starting again from zero. You’re building on 28 years of experience and success from day one, and using that to get your new career off to a flying start. They’ve already worked out exactly how to succeed in this high demand industry, and forged the relationships with national estate agent brands which can immediately bring in the work you need to turn this new year’s resolution from merely a promise, into a reality.

You’ll get the blueprint, the brand recognition, the established supplier relationships, and most importantly, you never have to figure it out alone. You’ll tap straight into immediate work, for sure, but there’s even more to it than that.

After 28 years in this business, they know exactly what hurdles you're going to face, and they've already put solutions in place to help you clear them.

You’ll receive in-depth support from their expert team - many of whom have been exactly where you are now – in how to run your business, interact with customers, plan your routes, and grow your income. You’ll have access to fantastic software and tech which can streamline your business and make sure you have the time to focus on what’s most important.

However, they don’t just plan for your success - they anticipate the challenges you might face, and have already put in the groundwork to help you overcome them.

For example, they've got partnerships in place with key providers that give you serious advantages right out of the gate:

Enterprise Rent-A-Car – Van at the mechanics, but don’t want to let your customers down? No problem! CWS franchisees get a no deposit deal on a temporary replacement vehicle.
Indeed.com - Need to recruit new drivers as you grow? Countrywide has a partnership in place to help you do it quickly and cost-effectively.
UK Fuels - Running a van-based business means fuel costs add up fast. How does 9% savings on fuel sound? That's money straight back into your pocket, month after month.

These aren't small perks. They're the kind of advantages that give you a serious edge over anyone trying to go it alone (not to mention an edge over the competition), and they're all part of what you’ll receive as part of the Countrywide Signs franchise.

So, are you ready to do what it takes to make 2026 your year?

A Countrywide Signs franchise offers you everything you need to actually make it happen.
