edundancy can be a seismic event, bringing a mix of anxiety, uncertainty and a sudden need for a


new direction. For many, however, it also presents an unexpected opportunity: a chance to invest a redundancy package into building a sustainable business and a change in lifestyle that aligns with personal and family goals. Franchising, particularly within a globally recognised, brand like FASTSIGNS, offers a structured route to transition from corporate life to successful business ownership, putting them firmly in control of their future.


Taking control and designing your future One of the most appealing aspects of franchising after redundancy is the ability to utilise a lump sum, such as a


redundancy package, to gain control over your working life. It’s a way to pivot from an employee mindset to that of an entrepreneur, creating a business where you set the terms. A franchise model provides the dual benefit of independence and support. You are the owner, making the ultimate decisions for your local business, but you don't start from scratch. For those leaving a long-standing career, the structured training, proven business model and ongoing guidance from a franchisor, like FASTSIGNS, is an invaluable de-risking factor. This established support system allows franchisees to focus on growth rather than reinventing the wheel. The FASTSIGNS model, for example, offers: 


Comprehensive training: Covering all aspects of business operations, including the latest


industry advancements, sales, marketing and customer service. New franchisees attend a two-week Foundations training at the global head office in Dallas, Texas.





Cutting-edge technology: Providing access to state- of-the-art equipment and design software, ensuring your business stays competitive.





Operational Support: Including site selection assistance, marketing strategies and ongoing operational support from business consultants, to help navigate challenges.


This strong foundation is key,


particularly for those who may be new to the signage and print industry. FASTSIGNS franchisees come from diverse backgrounds, including ex-schoolteachers, sales and marketing managers and investment bankers, proving
