If not now, when? Is it time you decided what kind of 2026 you really want?

Considering a change in 2026?

You’re not alone. A lot of people think exactly the same thing around this time of year. It’s when we all naturally reflect on where we are and where we want to be.

In my experience, this is especially true of those thinking about starting a new business, or simply leaving behind a job or current business that isn’t taking them where they want to be any more.

If that sounds like you, maybe the start of 2026 could be the perfect time for us to have a chat.

Let’s find out what inspires you

Have you found that a business or job you used to enjoy just isn’t cutting it anymore? Or you just want to actually look forward to going back to work for a change?

Maybe you’re looking for a better work-life balance, or are desperate to break out of your old routine? Get away from the office and be your own boss?

All great reasons for wanting a change, and very common reasons I hear from people who do decide to become part of the Countrywide Signs franchise. However, the idea of earning better money is a perfectly valid motivator, too, and a very important one. After all, whatever you decide, you still need to pay those bills and do your bit to support your family!

Fortunately, this is also an area where Countrywide Signs excels. Whether you’re planning to just run a one-man show, or expand to operate several vans across your territory like so many franchisees already do, there’s excellent earning potential in this opportunity.

It’s a service which is always in demand, and Countrywide Signs already has established relationships with some of the UK’s biggest name estate agents. In fact, there’s already GUARANTEED work in almost all of it’s territories, and 15 franchisees turning over in excess of £10k per month.

So, if you want to talk about any of the above, just ask! I’ve got plenty of real world examples to share with you.

Or discover what’s holding you back

I get it. Making a big decision like joining a franchise isn’t something you rush into, and nor should you. It’s something which you should think very carefully about. However, it’s all too easy to let doubts creep in and hold you back. So, why don’t we also chat about what concerns you might have?

I am always more than happy to answer any questions you have, but here are some other ideas about how we could help you:

  • Talk to the people who matter to you. Is there someone in your life who’s really with you on this journey? A partner, family member, or trusted friend who’s helping you think this through? We’re more than happy to include them in our conversations… In fact, I’d recommend it! If we set up a call, having them there often helps because they’ll ask questions from a different angle – questions you might not have thought of.
  • Speak to some existing franchisees. We’re more than happy to put you in touch with people who are already in the franchise. They’ll give you a third-party, unbiased idea of what it’s actually like running your own Countrywide Signs franchise.

If any of that appeals to you, please do just let me know.

Take the time you need… but don’t miss out!

Just this year, 35 areas have either been sold to new franchisees, been taken over by existing franchisees, or have been renewed with existing franchisees.

There are just 22 areas left out of around 100.

I want you to take the time you need to make an informed decision, but don’t be that person who misses out simply because they didn’t take the time to find out the information they need. Six months down the line, your territory might not be there anymore.

We’re here to help you make an informed decision, not to pressure you into anything. Whether that decision is “yes, this is for me” or “no, it’s not the right fit,” we just want you to have all the information you need.
