Economic Recovery Sparks FASTSIGNS Franchise Growth

CARROLLTON, TX—Lending to small businesses is on the rise in mid-2013—now at its highest index in six years—indicating that economic recovery is on firmer ground, thus encouraging small businesses to borrow, invest and grow, according to the Thomson Reuters/PayNet Small Business Lending Index.

While many small businesses will likely consider refreshing their look, FASTSIGNS—the worldwide franchisor of visual communications, signage and graphics centers—is helping independent print shop owners capitalize on this resurgence by maximizing on new channels for growth through wide-format, signage and graphics as part of the FASTSIGNS co-brand and conversion programs. These franchise opportunities allow independent business owners to increase brand exposure, which the company feels will attract new customers and drive profit margins.
