“The support and guidance you get when working with a franchise is what gave me the courage to proceed”

By investing in an Agency Express franchise, you benefit from low start-up costs, low overheads and high returns

Agency Express is the UK’s largest provider of professional estate agency board services.

Established in 1998, its national network of specially trained franchise operators service and maintain over 60 per cent of all estate agency boards across the UK. As an industry leader and multi-award winner, franchisees benefit from one of the best franchise packages available and today an ever-growing network of 117 franchisees share in the company’s national success.

Agency Express’ van-based, owner-operated franchise opportunity benefits from low start-up costs, low overheads and generates high returns.

With its proven business formulas, top franchisees have achieved turnovers in excess of £200,000, while others on average exceed £80,000 gross per annum.

Award nomination

Support and innovation are at the core of the business and Agency Express believes that a well-supported network with a healthy work-life balance breeds happy, successful franchisees, which is one of the many reasons why the company has once again been shortlisted in the British Franchise Association HSBC Franchisor of the Year Awards.

On being shortlisted, Stephen Watson, chairman for Agency Express, said: “Agency Express has been very fortunate to have already won a bronze, silver and gold award for Franchisor of the Year, so when we were once again announced as a finalist in the 2020 bfa HSBC British Franchise Association Awards we were delighted.

“The revered award showcases the UK’s most exceptional franchisors and achieving a place in the final selection illustrates our ongoing commitment to our franchisees’ success and welfare. To be recognised as Franchisor of the Year is truly the kitemark of franchise excellence and something every franchise should aspire to.”

Exceptional support

With Agency Express, franchisees can also rest assured that they will have access to exceptional ongoing support.

From accounts and operations to sales and marketing, franchisees are guided through every aspect of their business, giving them the knowledge and confidence to become successful franchise owners.

Paul Dymond, who launched his Agency Express franchise in June 2020, says: “I first saw Agency Express on the bfa website and it ticked all the boxes. I liked the idea of a van-based, repeat customer business that had reasonably low overheads.

“The prospect and reward of being self-employed is something I strived for, but it’s the support and guidance you get when working with a franchise that gave me the courage to proceed.

“Starting a business, even in the best financial climate, comes with uncertainty. This is why a franchise opportunity appealed to me because of the high levels of support and increased success rates.”

If you’re considering franchising and would like the reassurance of a proven, award-winning business model, the Agency Express opportunity could be the perfect match for you.

With Agency Express, no previous experience or qualifications are required, just self-motivation and a willingness to succeed.
