About the Countrywide Signs’ Franchise Package

Proven Business Model with Large Customer-Base
Established since 1998, the business model is proven, lucrative, and holds vast customer potential throughout the UK.
There are upwards of 30,000 estate & letting agents across the nation and a growing commercial signage market to match.
The scope is huge! Just look around your own local area and you’ll see numerous ‘for sale’ and ‘to let’ sign boards, many of which will have been installed by the Countrywide Signs network.
As a ‘van-based’ business investment is low. You simply run your business from your home and conduct your daily property signage erecting throughout your territory area on the road.
Overheads are minimal, and if you follow the proven-franchise business model, as well as take full advantage of the support available; profit, business growth and your future retirement will be secured.
Low Investment Franchise Package
Our franchise fee is £19,995 +VAT, and the package provides you with everything you need to get your business up and running. Franchisees can aspire to earn an impressive £250k+ in the future as a multi-van operation.
Thanks to strong relationships with reputable lenders who are familiar with the business model, up to 70% funding is available subject to individual circumstances - meaning you could get started with just £10,000 of your own money.
Your investment Includes everything you could possibly require to make a success of your business; from complete business planning and loan applications (if required) to your first year’s public liability insurance and ongoing support in accounts, operations, business development, sales and marketing and so much more.

Resale opportunities: step into a business already worth between £2-4k per month
September 22, 2025
Looking to jump straight into a profitable, successful business and start making great money from day one? Well, now’s your chance!
The Countrywide Signs franchise can offer you the perfect opportunity to quickly build your own successful and profitable business from scratch thanks to their proven model and well-established reputation. Not to mention their fantastic relationships with some of the biggest names on the UK property market, such as Haart and Purplebricks.
However, investing in a brand, new “greenfield” location isn’t the only way for you to make it big with their help.
There are also opportunities to buy an already established territory and hit the ground running from day one with an incredible head start.
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.
These are well-established franchise territories with loyal customer bases, trusted reputations, and ongoing relationships with some of the UK’s biggest estate agency brands and they are already generating between £2k and £4k per month in turnover. Now, they’re ready for someone like you to take the reins and continue growing.
So, if you’re looking to buy an established business in any of these areas, it’s well worth us having a chat:
Northampton
Oxford
Brighton
West Midlands
Peterborough
Gloucester
Buying a resale means:
You’re stepping into a business that’s already built
You inherit established processes and trusted client relationships
You start earning money from day one
You still receive the same training and support package as any new franchisee
Sound interesting? Then, let’s chat.
There was a new franchisee in training in July, and two more in August, so the fresh, untapped territories are filling up fast, but these resales are a unique opportunity for you to get ahead of the game.
