Profitable signage and graphics business offers an attractive opportunity for a new owner

Signs Express York has officially been brought to market, offering prospective buyers the opportunity to acquire an established and profitable signage and graphics business within the UK’s leading signage franchise network.

Located on Osbaldwick Industrial Estate, close to York city centre and key road links, the business has been operating since 1995 and has been under its current ownership for the past 14 years. The owner is now preparing for retirement, creating an opportunity for a new buyer to build on the centre’s strong foundations.

The business is being offered for sale at an asking price of £145,000 and currently generates annual turnover of more than £340,000, with EBITDA in excess of £70,000.

Signs Express York operates from a modern, fully equipped production facility and serves a broad customer base across a wide range of sectors, including hospitality, tourism, education, retail, manufacturing, construction, transport and professional services.

The centre benefits from a territory of more than 8,000 businesses, providing clear scope for further growth. It also has a strong trading history, with an average conversion rate of 80% and an average order value of £400+.

The opportunity includes a well-established local presence, modern production equipment and access to high-margin services including vehicle graphics, interior signage, displays and wider visual communications solutions.

A new owner would also benefit from the support of the Signs Express Franchise Support Centre, including full training, ongoing business guidance, established marketing systems and national lead generation.

Emma Wakefield, Head of Franchise Recruitment at Signs Express, said:

“Signs Express York represents a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to acquire a profitable, established business with a strong local reputation and significant potential for future growth.

The centre is fully operational, well equipped and supported by an experienced national franchise network, making it an attractive option for both first-time business owners and experienced operators.”

Backed by the strength of the Signs Express brand and a proven franchise model, the York centre offers a ready-to-trade platform with the potential to expand further across its existing territory and into neighbouring areas.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the opportunity is encouraged to contact Signs Express to discuss the business in further detail.
