Signarama

About

Founded in 1986 in Farmingdale, New York, by Ray and Roy Titus, Signarama has grown to become the world's largest full-service sign and visual communications franchise. Now operating as a flagship brand under United Franchise Group, the network spans over 800 locations across more than 60 countries globally. Signarama provides comprehensive visual messaging solutions for businesses of all sizes, including custom indoor and outdoor business signage, vehicle graphics and wraps, illuminated channel letters, digital displays, promotional banners, and trade show exhibit materials. By serving local business communities across diverse industries, Signarama franchises function as essential marketing partners that help commercial clients build brand visibility and customer engagement. The financial requirements for launching a Signarama franchise include a total initial investment ranging between $200,000 and $310,000. Prospective franchisees must pay an initial franchise fee of $49,500 and demonstrate at least $60,000 in liquid capital alongside a required minimum net worth of $150,000. The ongoing royalty fee is established at 6% of gross sales, which directly supports national brand marketing, technology development, and operational research. The proven B2B business model operates primarily during standard business hours Monday through Friday, allowing owners to maintain a healthy work-life balance while generating high-margin repeat commercial revenue from surrounding business communities. Signarama offers new franchise owners an extensive support infrastructure, beginning with two weeks of intensive corporate training at United Franchise Group world headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, followed by two additional weeks of hands-on operational training directly in the franchisee's local market. Corporate advisors provide turnkey assistance with commercial site selection, lease negotiation, showroom floor planning, specialized sign-making equipment procurement, and software integration. Franchisees also gain access to established preferred vendor networks, discounted raw material supply channels, proprietary lead-generation tools, and ongoing field mentorship. The ideal candidate is a professional, sales-driven business leader with strong executive management skills, interpersonal communication abilities, and a commitment to active B2B networking within their local business community.
