Concept Description

Signworld is a national organization with more than 350 independently owned sign companies, which provide commercial custom signage and graphics. It’s personable, creative, rewarding, and ideal for people-oriented individuals who have the desire to learn how to manage a sales and production business. Our Signworld affiliates are a cut above traditional sign companies. The ongoing support and training provided along with state-of-the-art equipment will leave the competition behind. But most importantly, with Signworld, you own your business entirely and there are no royalties. We believe that as we step forward into the twenty-first century, the smart move of the future will be Signworld and the no-royalty concept. Signs can be sassy, smart, bold, subtle, creative, or simply informative. They can also be profitable and fun. Our business model is for you to work with ongoing large customers with a repetitive need: Your core group of 30 customers or less will generate up to 80% of your annual income. Signworld has been a part of that profit and fun since 1988. With over 30 years in the business, Signworld has established itself as the leader in the no-royalty sign business concept.

Small business start-ups and entrepreneurial-ism feed our business.

Over the past 10 years, our country has realized unparalleled growth of small business and start-up companies. Large companies and major corporations have downsized, turning business executives into entrepreneurs seeking ways to promote their businesses. We have seen an incredible rise in the service industry, business services, professional services, and creative services, all which have an inherent need to promote their business. Sign customers and their needs range dramatically from attorneys and architects that need large format color presentations to service companies that need to brand their fleet with letters and full vehicle wraps. There is no end in sight for growth in these segments which will continue to help Signworld business owners thrive.
