Franchise Opportunity
Van based franchises are often successful depending on how well they
can tap into specific local markets. Taking that concept one step
further, imagine a business that is dedicated solely to fulfilling the
constant advertising needs of one very large market. Thatís the kind of
focus that other franchises simply cannot offer.
Countrywide Signs provides Estate Agents with a very valuable professional service - supplying, erecting and maintaining their "For Sale" signs. A straightforward concept, but a task which properly carried out is of exceptional importance. Every single property on the market needs one!
Why choose Franchising?
Every year a considerable number of experienced and skilled men and
women start out in business to achieve their goal of financial success.
Unfortunately many fail to survive past the first year because of the
associated costs of the learning curve where mistakes can be expensive.
A Franchise owner benefits from the past trading experience achieved by
the Franchisor.
We at Countrywide Signs fully understand the close relationship which is basic to the principles of Franchising, relying upon the honesty, commitment and professionalism of both Franchisor and Franchisee. Our commitment to our Franchisees is set out on a later page and includes the sharing of our experience and expertise. Our success is the starting point for your success, and your success will add to ours, therefore we have a firm interest in helping you succeed and are firmly committed to achieving this. If you are awarded a Countrywide Signs Franchise you will be part of an expanding team across the country, serving Estate Agents both large and small.

Colin Lancaster & Gary Millen
As a Business Manager for Lloyds TSB, I was the face of the bank and delegated the workload,” says Stafford- based Countrywide Signs franchisee Colin Lancaster (pictured above right). “Despite not having complete control if anything went wrong with a client’s account I would be held responsible. After 19 years in banking I began looking for a new challenge where I could work for myself and have sole responsibility. . . more
James and Jane Bickerstaff
While many franchisees may find their efforts and funds are mostly spent on promoting and advertising their business, Countrywide Signs franchisees James and Jane Bickerstaff have found most of their business comes to them. “Since launching our franchise back in 2000 we have not done much advertising but have built our business up through word of mouth,” reveals Jane. “When we started we only had one van and it was just my husband and I - we now have five vans on the road. . . more
Tyler Smith
For me, the Countrywide Signs franchise has provided an opportunity to work in a business where I am out and about working with people, rather than chained to a desk. For my father, the prospect of building a substantial business through marketing and providing a professional service was the key attraction. We are both achieving our goals with our franchise and we are a perfect team! . . . more
Ian Morris
When Ian Morris took voluntary redundancy from his job of 17 years working at a Vauxhall Motors factory, Countrywide Signs gave him the opportunity he had been looking for. He says: “I felt I needed a change so I looked into franchising and when I contacted Countrywide Signs they said my area was available. Countrywide Signs appealed to me for many reasons. When I spoke to them they went through the set-up and the internet service that they provide and it all seemed very professional. Also they have very good communication between estate agents and franchisees. . . more
