Signs Express is set to launch two new business models, which aim to complement its existing resale and start-up models.

The Rebrand Proposition and Conversion Resale Model both offer flexible, fully supported solutions to help owners grow, transition, or sell their business, while maintaining local legacy and maximising long-term success.

The Rebrand proposition was soft-launched at the beginning of the year, with the new owners of Signs Express Exeter reaping the benefits.

The franchise rebranded its established local brand KBS Signs and joined the Signs Express network, which saw its orders double almost overnight.

The model is aimed at independent signage or print businesses seeking to scale but facing barriers such as limited marketing reach, increasing operational costs, or a lack of structured support.

Aaron Davis, network development director at Signs Express, said: “This model gives business owners the best of both worlds, freedom to run their business, with the support and structure to accelerate growth.

“Our goal is to empower local signage experts with the tools and backing they need to thrive in today’s market.”

The Conversion Resale Model is aimed at businesses looking to sell up in a way of doing so that is fully managed and hassle-free.

Signs Express will act as a broker, managing the end-to-end sales process and marketing the business under the Sign Express name. Once sold, the business is rebranded as a Signs Express centre, maintaining continuity for customers and teams, and offering the buyer a ready-to-trade operation with the support of a recognised franchise.

All this comes with a no-sale-no-fee promise.

Mr Davis continued: “Selling a business can be a stressful and expensive process, especially for owner-operators.

“We aim to remove those barriers, making the transition as smooth and beneficial as possible for all involved.”
