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.

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
