Many franchise owners derive profit not only from their royalty base but also from the sale of equipment and supplies to their franchisees. At FASTSIGNS®, we depend solely on the royalties from centres for our corporate revenue stream. So, when you succeed, we succeed! We understand first and foremost, our franchisees are our customers.
When going into business for yourself you have to plan on your exit strategy.

This can mean passing the business on to family or partners, or selling it outright. A major benefit of the FASTSIGNS® business model is that once you have built up your business, your centre can have a strong resale or residual value. Not only are you running a profitable business today, but you are creating value for tomorrow.
