Jumpstart Your Journey
Investing in and opening a Signs and More Enterprises franchise is one of the best business decisions an aspiring entrepreneur can make. With years of experience under our belts, we’ve transformed a small store to a nationwide service!
Needless to say, if you’re looking into becoming a business owner, investing in the thriving sign and printing industry with Signs and More Enterprises is the way to do so.
Opening your own business and becoming your own boss is an exhilarating proposition, especially for first-time business owners. But in the hustle and bustle of realizing that you can not only afford to do this, but making up your mind that you’re going all in on a decision that will change your life, sometimes it’s easy to forget that there are a lot of things you don’t know yet. And while franchising with an industry leader like Signs and More Enterprises is far easier than starting from scratch and going it alone, there’s still a process to becoming a Signs and More Enterprises owner.

STEP 01
Pass a Prerequisite Check
We receive a large number of inquiries into franchise ownership, and both for this reason and to be sure that potential franchisees are able to make an investment, we require a few financial prerequisites.
When you contact us, we’ll likely ask you about these or there will be questions regarding them on a form you fill out.
By reaching out to us or filling out a form, you’re already moving on to Step No. 2 if you qualify.
STEP 02
Request More Information
We want you to know the answers to every critical question you have, so at this point, we’re going to send you a copy of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
Be sure to read and review the entire document carefully, as it’s sort of the insider guide to what a Signs and More Enterprise franchise opportunity looks like.
STEP 03
Discovery Day
This is the feeling-out process for both parties and essentially is a laid back job interview. You’ll come to our headquarters to meet everyone at our corporate office face-to-face, as well as some current franchisees. You’ll get a feel for our culture, policies, and more.
Plus, we want to know more about you. What makes you tick, why would you excel at business ownership, and why are you interested in owning a Signarama franchise?
Furthermore, we’re going to give you the foundation of what you need to know during this process, including what to expect from us, what we’re going to expect and need from you, what and when the milestones and deadlines are between now and ownership (if you’re selected), and what it means to be a part of the Signs and More Enterprises family.
Additionally, we’ll review the financial prerequisites and go over everything in detail, including what your investment dollars are going toward, why we have these qualifiers, when you need to have payments ready, and what types of financing is available.
After your Discovery Day, we’ll meet as a team and make a decision on whether we’d like you to continue in the franchising process. If so, we’ll send you the Franchise Agreement.
STEP 04
Franchise Agreement
The Franchise Agreement is your contract, which lays out all of the terms, pricing, and other important aspects of this mutual agreement, like your protection of territory, franchise fee, royalties and other fees, training and support, and more.
Carefully review the document, ask any questions you have, and we’ll connect you with other franchisees to give the opportunity to speak with as many of them as possible to get a better feel for what it’s like owning a Signs and More Enterprises franchise location.
STEP 05
Financing
You’ll need to have a plan for financing before signing the Franchise Agreement. Chances are that even when you’re financially qualified, you’ll still be in need/in search of financing.
We can help you in this process, and fortunately for you, it’s typically easier to acquire financing when franchising opposed to starting a business on your own.
STEP 06
Grand Opening
It’s official, you’re part of the Signarama family. The process of owning a Signs and More Enterprises is as simple as that.
