A Business That Grows with You
Each Agency Express Franchise territory is carefully structured to offer the maximum reward for your effort. Whether you’re starting out solo or planning to grow a multi-van operation with staff, the opportunity is built for scale. As your client base expands, so does your potential to add more vehicles and grow your income.
A high number of estate agency businesses also means a vast pool of potential clients for a B2B service provider. As of 2025, there are an estimated 23,346 estate agent businesses in the UK, highlighting the ongoing demand for board services (source).

Supported Every Step of the Way
From your very first enquiry to the day you retire, the Agency Express head office team is committed to supporting you. Franchisees have access to:
- Daily operational advice and mentoring
- Marketing and business development strategies
- Invoicing, credit control, and customer account support
- Continuous system updates and innovations
- Regular review meetings and opportunities to network with other franchisees
The goal is simple: to help you succeed, grow, and enjoy the journey of being your own boss.

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
