About the Countrywide Signs’ Franchise Package


Impressive Earning Potential

The Countrywide Signs business model is designed to generate a quick return on investment (ROI) operating as a one van operation, as well as impressive earnings as a multi-van business providing a lucrative asset to sell in the future.

Single Van Business

On average franchise owners enjoy 55-60% profit on their turnover with a single van operation averaging between £5-6k sales per month.

Multi-van Operation

Choose to expand! Countrywide Signs has several franchise owners operating multi-van businesses who enjoy turnover of more than £250k per annum! With top performers running multiple territories who continue to increase turnover year-on-year!

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.


Financial Rewards



The Countrywide Signs business model has two aims: to quickly generate cash flow to give you the lifestyle you want, and to grow as an asset to sell in the future, providing you with a long-term return on your investment. How quickly you get to this point is up to you, but the support team is there to help you along the way!

The group’s location coverage has grown exponentially. Ranging from one-van businesses to multi-van regional operations. As a result, the network has the capacity to fulfil orders the length and breadth of the UK for independent estate, letting and commercial agents, as well as regional and national clients.

This franchise offers 2 routes to success…which one is right for you?

What does the perfect business opportunity look like to you?

  • Starting something from scratch and growing it into something incredible?
  • Or taking over an already established business and using it as a springboard for even greater success?
Countrywide Signs Image

Well, whichever one fits your ambitions, the Countrywide Signs franchise can offer you the best of both worlds. The same great business model, fantastic brand reputation, and excellent earning potential, but 2 different routes to success.

Which one suits you?

Option 1 – A Greenfield Territory

The classic franchise model which everyone is familiar with. Move into a fresh location where you’ll be building a business from the ground up, and enjoy all the satisfaction of shaping your new enterprise from day one. However, you’ll not be doing it alone – you’ll have all the training and support you could ever need from an expert team.

With a brand-new territory, you’ll benefit from:

· A proven & profitable business model based on 25+ years of excellence

· Incredible partnerships with major estate agency brands like Haart, Purplebricks, and more

· A scalable, mobile business with low overheads and flexible working

· Strong initial demand driven by Countrywide Signs’ reputation and national connections

Option 2 - Buying an Established Resale Territory

When a franchise has been operating for as long as this one, franchisees will naturally reach retirement age or decide to move on from time to time, which could mean an unmissable opportunity for you to step straight into a business that’s already generating income.

With a resale, you’ll gain:

  • A trading business with loyal customers and a trusted name in the local area
  • An immediate revenue stream with the potential to earn a great income from day one
  • Established processes and working systems already in place
  • A full handover from the existing owner to make the transition smooth
  • The same high-quality training and ongoing support as any new franchisee

Resale territories currently available:

  • Northampton
  • Oxford
  • Brighton
  • West Midlands
  • Peterborough
  • Gloucester
