Signs Express launches first conversion opportunity 

Signs Express has linked up with Clifford Wynn, owner of Quality Signs & Engraving, as he prepares to bring his long-established signage business to market in what the franchise business has billed as its first conversion opportunity.

Quality Signs & Engraving has been trading successfully since 1997, but with Wynn planning his retirement, he had been seeking a way to ensure the business continues after he steps down.

With this, Wynn is now working with Signs Express to support the promotion and potential sale of the business as a conversion opportunity upon a completion of sale.

According to Signs Express, the model is designed to help established signage businesses planning for succession, sale or future growth. 

Through the scheme, owners can work with Signs Express to transition their business into the franchise network, offering incoming buyers an established operation backed by the support and recognition of a national brand, subject to territory availability.

Once complete, the company will rebrand an operate as Signs Express Wolverhampton.

“The Quality Signs & Engraving opportunity is particularly compelling because it combines the strength of an established independent business with the future potential of the Signs Express model,” Signs Express says.

“The business has a strong base in the West Midlands, an extensive list of assets and a territory of approximately 16,000 serviceable businesses.”

Alongside the conversion model, Signs Express offers a range of options to support business owners at different stages of their journey. These include helping existing franchisees sell their centres, supporting entrepreneurs looking to launch a new Signs Express location and enabling established operators to expand through additional territories or business acquisitions.

Business owners and prospective buyers are invited to get in touch with Emma Wakefield at Signs Express for further details.
