Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need a background in property, business, or signage. In fact, many of Agency Express’ most successful franchisees had no prior experience. Instead, they brought with them energy, motivation, and a willingness to work hard.

This is a physical, van-based business, ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work, being outdoors, and having the freedom of running their own schedule. You’ll need:

  • Drive and ambition to grow your business
  • A positive, can-do attitude
  • Confidence in customer service and communication
  • Basic IT skills to manage your business through SignMaster3
