FastSigns Franchise Business Opportunity

Jenny Boreham – Chelmsford Franchise owner since 1996

"Choosing the right signs franchise opportunity wasn't difficult once I'd spoken to FASTSIGNS"

I read about franchises in the press and went to an exhibition where I was overwhelmed with the choice. I selected three franchises and spoke to FASTSIGNS. They were very, very open, they encouraged me to speak to other franchisees, they gave me a list and I could speak to anyone.

I asked them an emotional question- would you do it again?

All of them said it's been hard work but yes, they would do it again. This made me feel really comfortable.

The marketing plan makes life easy for me. It is on a calendar, month by month and it tells me which industries and which products to promote. Sending mail shots is so easy, and works really well.

My FASTSIGNS business is a huge success. We reached new heights with a 29 per cent year on year increase in 2007. We moved the business premises as well last year.

It is important to be a goal setter to set goals. Or you are just running a business and that is not for me.

Mark Phelps-Kinston & Staines Franchise owner since 2005

"I'm averse to risk"

I wanted my own business and I'm somewhat risk averse. I wanted a proven business model, one that would stand the test of time, and wouldn't fail. I looked for businesses for sale.

I found FASTSIGNS, they were very open, they answered my questions, I didn't always get the answers expected, but they were necessary to help me develop my business plan and to get the assurance required.

I was able to make good, sensible decisions.
