Sign A Rama Franchise In DFW Metroplex For Sale

Business description

Opportunity to purchase an existing Sign-A-Rama franchise in a thriving north Dallas suburb and become part of the world’s largest sign franchise network which is now 850 stores in 35 countries and nearly every state in the U.S. Full service sign center for all customer signage needs including any and all types of banners, decals, vehicle & boat wraps, lettering, displays and virtually any sign need. Established, repeat clientele.

Seller will provide at least 2 weeks on-site training after the purchase, assist in securing retention of employees and transfer of supplier relationships, provide on-call telephone assistance after competition of the training and sign a no competition agreement. The franchiser will also be available for training and support. The sale must involve franchiser approval and a 2 week comprehensive training period at the company headquarters (training paid by the franchiser which includes airfare, room & meals). Franchise transfer fee will be applicable and is included in the asking price.

Extremely motivated situation. The business was run virtually absentee for a number of years with annual sales in excess of $550,000. Experienced a series of management setbacks beginning in January of 2010 forcing the current owner to leave a well paid corporate job to owner/operate the business and get it back on track. Priced to sell quickly. To replicate this business and survive startup period before turning a profit would be a minimum of $300,000. Turn-key operation & infrastructure in place that now needs a marketing/sales oriented buyer who can capitalize on the going concern & franchiser strengths to ramp up the sales volume.

Franchiser strengths include the brand awareness advantage, a proven successful system and business model, 24/7 training & support, availability of information via the existing franchise/business owner network plus a very strong collective purchasing power. The vendor & supplier relationship program is the best in the industry. Being the largest network in the country, the franchiser has the advantage to partner with the industry leading vendors & suppliers as well as stay at the forefront with the latest technology and products which translates into state of the art software, equipment and materials used to create signage that is not only ahead of the curve but ahead of most of the competition.

The Sign-A-Rama proprietary software insures accurate pricing selected by the owner while presenting very professional quotes and invoices. This software also maintains customer order histories making reorders very simple and profitable. Contact management software is also in place with paths for customers and prospects to facilitate follow up and increased sales. Operations sales and management systems are in place that could make the ownership transition seamless.
