Why Signal? Why This Opportunity?
Immediate Revenue & Clients – You’d be stepping into a business that’s already generating cash flow with active contracts in place. This means you’ll see revenue right away instead of waiting to build a client base.
Industry Leadership – Signal is ranked #1 in Security Services, #20 in fastest-growing franchises, and #63 in the 2025 Franchise 500. This credibility makes it easier to win new contracts and expand the business.
Lower Operational Costs & Higher Margins – Signal franchisees benefit from reduced insurance rates, centralized payroll support, and back-office efficiencies. Our locations operate at an average gross profit margin of 39%, with many generating over $1.2 million in annual revenue.
