Franchise For Sale in Northampton

Northamptonshire

27th October 2026

Franchise For sale in Nottingham | Franchise Resales

For a buyer seeking a business with income from day one, rather than building one from scratch, the Northampton Countrywide Signs franchise territory is a compelling opportunity.

Countrywide Signs franchisees work from home installing and managing estate agent signage within the territory.

Established in 1998, Countrywide Signs now has a strong nationwide presence, supporting independent, regional and national agents with reliable, professional board management services. The brand won the Continuous Improvement Award at The Best Franchise Awards 2026

The territory currently operates with a single van, but there is the potential to expand this to a two to three van operation. The current franchisee has been servicing this territory for over 5 years, so this is a well-established brand in the area.

Their main base of clients is centred around Northampton; the reason for not developing the territory further is because they are not based in the area, so have to travel in to manage the business. They are selling Northampton as they have been successful in their adjacent territory and want to be able to develop that territory even further. They will remain in place, in the adjacent territory, and will be available for guidance and assistance to any new purchaser.

Covering all the NN postcodes this territory benefits from several characteristics that suit the Countrywide Signs business model:

  • Large commuter population with strong housing demand
  • Significant new-build activity
  • A healthy private rental market
  • Numerous independent estate agencies alongside national chains
  • Commercial property opportunities linked to logistics and warehousing

The wider territory also benefits from active and affluent housing markets which are concentrated in highly sought-after, semi-rural villages and premium southern suburbs. Notable hotspots include NN6 (Church Brampton, Spratton), NN12 (Towcester, Silverstone), and NN4 (Collingtree, Hardingstone), where residential transactions and premium housing stock can support ongoing demand for property signage services.

As this is a working franchise territory you will inherit:

  • Existing customers
  • Established estate agency relationships
  • Immediate turnover
  • Ongoing recurring work
  • Local reputation and operational infrastructure

Your Investment & Financial Potential

The franchise offers one of the most accessible entry points into the property sector:

  • The cost of this territory is £49,995, and covers the Franchise Fee of £24,995, and the inherent brand reputation, customer loyalty (goodwill). (Funding available (up to 70% subject to status)
  • Low working capital requirements
  • No premises costs

Your Investment includes:

  • Exclusive five-year trading license
  • Existing Customer database
  • Online board management system including driver app.
  • Operations manual on line
  • Training: Theory, Practical, Marketing, Health and safety, accounts
  • Loan application support
  • Corporate clothing
  • First year’s public liability insurance
  • Specialist fixing pack

  • Stationary pack
  • Bespoke website page and social media platforms with ongoing support
  • Marketing materials
  • VAT registration and 1st quarter VAT return
  • Data protection registration

You will also need to have a van, as this is a van-based operation. However, you do not need to source or design it independently from scratch. Countrywide Signs provides full support, including the professional vehicle graphics (livery) .

Financial performance is a key attraction:

  • Typical single-van sales: £5,000–£6,000 per month
  • Profit margins: approximately 55–65%
  • Multi-van potential: £250,000+ annual turnover

With recurring work from estate agents and the ability to scale, the model is designed to deliver strong ROI and long-term business value.

Countrywide Signs is looking for motivated, practical individuals who are:

  • Self-driven and organised
  • Comfortable working outdoors and independently
  • Keen to build relationships with local businesses
  • Ambitious to grow a scalable enterprise

No prior experience in signage or property is required—just a willingness to follow a proven system and deliver excellent service.
