My career prior to FASTSIGNS required a lot of travel, so I was looking for a business opportunity that’s open five days a week with regular hours. With FASTSIGNS I get to own my own business, my schedule is flexible and I don’t have to work weekends. It’s the best of both worlds.Laurie Sigillito
I've always been entrepreneurial by heart, but I liked the structured systems FASTSIGNS has in place. It was important to me that I have an experienced team of professionals behind me that were dedicated to achieving my success. There's no better system if you are looking to get into the business.Clint Ehlers

PostalAnnex+
Today's busy lifestyles demand the services PostalAnnex offers. Capitalize on this demand and open your own business!! After retiring from the printing business PostalAnnex founder Jack Lentz began working out of his home as a business consultant. He soon realized the need for mailing faxing copying shipping and other services to belong under one roof. As a result he created the first PostalAnnex store business franchise located next door to a post office in the University City neighborhood of San Diego CA. Our franchises serve a growing customer base of small and home-based businesses that lacks the resources our stores offer. Today's hectic lifestyle requires a one-stop service center for businesses that don't have an administrative assistant to take care of those daily errands. Saving our consumers time is what keeps them coming back. By being a local neighborhood business"
